However, it is possible to run a certain environment with `tox -e <env>`, a list of all environments
can be found with `tox -l`. These tests require the dependencies of the different engines defined in
the documentation. It is possible to install these dependencies into a vagrant image with the
Vagrantfile in the repo.

Frequently asked questions
--------------------------

Is so slow in Amazon S3 !
-------------------------

Posible related to the implementation of your Amazon S3 Backend, see the issue `#351`_
due the storage backend reviews if there is an existing thumbnail when tries to
generate the thumbnail that makes an extensive use of the S3 API

A fast workaround if you are not willing to tweak your storage backend is to set
the `THUMBNAIL_FORCE_OVERWRITE` setting to `True` by default is `False`, so it will
avoid to overly query the S3 API
