Thumbs down Runups on the runway?

Several times in the past week I have watched as a multi-engine IFR aircraft has entered and backtracked at a regional airport after a super-spreading aircraft has joined the circuit.

The pilot of the twin backtracks niiiiice and steady, then sits on the end of the runway as the turbine fletcher goes round, and round, and round... three go-rounds in one effort last week!

This is not an isolated incident but has happened three times in the last fortnight.

Surely there is ample time to do all your run-ups etc on the apron before the scheduled depature time....!?!
