That's more in the expected range.  Amd bulldozers are not GMP speed
demons, with their 1/4 mul throughput, but they are not that slow.

  But note that since "reuse" is much slower than the other tests,
  one doesn't benefit much from the parallelization of the tests.

Indeed.  I don't lose too much sleep over that, and splitting up
tests/mpz/reuse,c into several tests would seem to have several
disadvantages.
