Okay; I think preserving a handful of tests to check for a dead-on-arrival vector change is acceptable. Here are the sorted running times from my machine, times in milliseconds:

VectorHash.jtr:2190
PreferredSpeciesTest_id0.jtr:2545
VectorRuns.jtr:2790
PreferredSpeciesTest_id1.jtr:3228
MethodOverideTest.jtr:3864
CovarOverrideTest.jtr:3993
MismatchTest.jtr:4013
LoadJsvmlTest.jtr:4112
ImageTest.jtr:6074
LongMaxVectorLoadStoreTests.jtr:6197
DoubleMaxVectorLoadStoreTests.jtr:6445
ShortMaxVectorLoadStoreTests.jtr:6692
IntMaxVectorLoadStoreTests.jtr:6868
FloatMaxVectorLoadStoreTests.jtr:6952
ByteMaxVectorLoadStoreTests.jtr:7098
AddTest.jtr:7303

VectorMaxConversionTests_ZSinglegen.jtr:24001
LongMaxVectorTests.jtr:27290
IntMaxVectorTests.jtr:27349
VectorMaxConversionTests_id0.jtr:27588
VectorMaxConversionTests_ZGenerational.jtr:29138
ShortMaxVectorTests.jtr:29220
FloatMaxVectorTests.jtr:30849
ByteMaxVectorTests.jtr:31206
DoubleMaxVectorTests.jtr:32384
VectorReshapeTests.jtr:39873

The tests below the line take 24 or more seconds to run so would be out of consideration.

@vnkozlov , which subset of the above the line regressions tests would be most helpful to preserve?
