Are you really sure that automated tests need to be optimized?
Optimization will bring in additional cost, except for the case when
it is optimized for maintainability. Additional cost is not what we
seek in testing. Tests should be simple and chip in order to be
effective. Sometimes solutions not related to changing the test code
work better. You may consider adding computers to your test lab, or
using several virtual machines on one computer to spread the execution
on more computers.

I also noted that if you created automated tests using GUI automation
tool (like SilkTest, Winrunner, or Robot) there may be special delays
that make tests able to work on slow machines. Optimizing those delay
may make the tests bound to a specific system and will make it harder
to do configuration testing later.
