I've noticed that the CI builds take quite a long time to finish, although the test suite is pretty quick, due to long queue times before the OSX builds even start. Here are a couple of recent examples:
The total build time was 12 minutes, even though the longest build actually only ran for 4.5 minutes, and the Ubuntu builds finished in under 3.
This build has been queued for 10 minutes without even starting.
Since we're not doing any C interop, no file system operations and nothing else that should possibly be platform dependent (unless there's a bug in Julia itself), is it really worth the extra turnback-time to test on multiple OS'es? What do we gain from building on OSX too?
