This is similar to the chaining test we have for the A/E merges.
The current result of this tests is wrong, as for the other test of the same

A script to generate nasty diff worst-case scenarios:
$ cat > s.py <<EOF
> import random
> for x in range(100000):
> print
> if random.randint(0, 100) >= 50:
> x += 1
> print(hex(x))
> EOF
$ hg init a
$ cd a
Check in a big file:
$ "$PYTHON" ../s.py > a
$ hg ci -qAm0
Modify it:
$ "$PYTHON" ../s.py > a
Time a check-in, should never take more than 10 seconds user time:
$ hg ci --time -m1 --config worker.enabled=no
time: real .* secs .user [0-9][.].* sys .* (re)
