----------------
Would it be better to shard in a round robin fashion? There is some tendency for tests to be clumped by where they are defined, and where they are defined to be (weakly) correlated with how long they take to run, so that would distribute long running tests across machines, which should help reduce the deviation between total testing time among shards.
