We use -race during our automated testing. The setup for some of our tests involves CPU mining (rapid blake2b hashing). This code definitely doesn't have any races, and it runs waaaaay slower when race detection is enabled. So we could speed up our tests significantly by disabling race detection just for the setup phase.
