One concern about this approach is scalability, swarming supports shard for
gtest, see
http://build.chromium.org/p/tryserver.chromium.linux/builders/linux_chromium_....

It could split the big browser_tests to several tasks and run each task on
different slave in parallel. I am not sure if you can use shard for your case,
if not, that means the test cases will be running sequentially on one slave.
With more and more test cases added, eventually we need to improve the
performance.

Acknowledged.
Makes sense. I've opened
https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=423581 to track updating
remoting browser-tests to take advantage of this. Until then, we can try this
approach.
