Current testsuite is far more fast and stable that the old one (entire test: 17 seconds in my machine). I was wondering if it is time to enable bsddb3 testsuite by default.

Perhaps so. That certainly improves the chances of finding problems
early.

BTW: How is a "resource" enabled by an user, without touching sourcecode?.

regrtest.py takes a "-u" (for "use") option; take a look at how the
value passed to that gets interpreted. (Could use better
documentation, if no one's improved it since I added the option
umpteen gazillion years ago.)
