They are slow because they run a bunch of smaller haxe programs, and on eval that means re-parsing, re-typing, etc. for every execution. By using hxb, I was able to get the time for testIPC from 4 mins 48 secs down to 14 secs.
I've still not enabled it by default locally as it's over half of the total sys test runtime (8 secs off vs 22 secs on), but maybe that's acceptable now?
