Turn off the slowest tests at opt levels -1 and 0. We still run
these tests at opt level 9, which should be enough to test for what they're
actually testing for.

For example, there is a Date test that loops through every hour for a year
and ensures that a Date can be created and not die a horrible death.
I'm not sure that we really need that and we certainly don't need to
test it three times!

Don't we need to at least test at -1 (interpreted) and then one of the compiled levels (0 through 9)?

And speaking of those different optLevels for compiled mode: is there actually any difference between them? See #1123

but I think that the only difference is whether the
optimizer tries to replace strings of numeric functions with floating-point
operations directly in the bytecode

If you figure it out, please let us know (so I can also point to that in the documentation). I wasn't able to find anything previously, whick would mean we could just completely disable running the testsuite for one of the two compiled opt levels

TBH, I'm not convinced that we need all of these MozillaSuiteTests at all

I guess you're talking about specific tests from the testsuite. I've been wondering myself as well, because to my knowledge a fair chunk of this testsuite was shared with SpiderMonkey and those test got rolled into Test262 if I'm not mistaken, so there might be a lot of overlap
