I'm syncing testnet and according to block explorers, it's currently 1.5 million blocks long... at the rate I'm syncing it will take approx 1 month to fully sync. why hasn't testnet been reset? damn the chain is too long for testing.

I've had laptops with rather slow SSDs, likely slower bus speeds. But a month still sounds quite unreasonable for testnet. Mainnet in a bad case shouldn't take longer than that 🙂
