Yes, it's surprising how slow these tools are. At least mypy caches some
stuff, so the second run is considerably faster, but pylint doesn't do
that.

I wonder if there is some overlap between mypy and pylint that we could
configure away in pylint to speed it up.

It's probably not hard to find more "actual problems" in the test
harness...
