For what I'm doing, it doesn't matter much currently, so whatever
you want if it will make it faster. :) However for the record,
it's currently sqlite, though I suppose I could point it at
:memory: instead. I thought the test harness automatically
detected sqlite and chooses :memory: as the database source for
testing purposes,

Then you're not far off -- my home work-horse is an 8-year-old
Celeron laptop clocked at 800MHz with 384M of memory running
Debian off a fairly slow HDD. After "an hour and change" (fairly
close to your 1.5hr benchmark) at lunch, I aborted on the
assumption that there had to be a better way. Especially for
tight iterations on changes against trunk (working on a patch
against core/trunk from a ticket I created). I've svn-up'ed to
the latest to ensure I've got everything as current as possible,
but I'm fairly sure that was already the case. I manually
specified ":memory:" and sqlite, letting it run to completion
this time and it took just over an hour:
Ran 867 tests in 3775.195s
I'll try Russel's suggestion to minimize the time spent running
so I can do some quick(er) iterations before re-running the full
suite.
Thanks,
