I agree.

Right. :) What is the PPC64 machine? Can we do anything (use some of
our mphq funds maybe?) to get it some better cooling?

As we were considering disabling this test and altering the way we
conduct tests for float codecs because of off-by-one rounding issues,
I'm not concerned about the wma regression. However, I thought I
remembered seeing all these get cleaned up and everything being very
very green on FATE just last week. Maybe I'm mistaken.
