that is a lot.
perhaps a change to allow the shootout to only run a single test with 
all languages, or a single language with all the tests, would help with 
this problem?
i think that the integrity of the shootout data would not be compromised 
with such a system. ie, it would be possible to fairly compare the new 
results with the existing ones.
