Valgrind can be 10x slower at runtime, whereas AddressSanitizer (ASan) is only about 2x slower.  It would be much more feasible to have the MRs pass through ASan.  (The tools largely overlap in the issues they find, but each can catch/miss things the other doesn't.)

Reminder: I submit an ASan nightly dashboard, there is currently 1 failure:
