If it takes too long for you to compile kdelibs and its unit tests, then you 
indeed have too old hardware (or not enough patience ;) to become a kdelibs 
developer.
I don't think disabling tests are going to change that as developers will need 
to compile them anyway.

I second Boudewijns suggestion, though.
