I did some profiling and easy optimizations which sped things up quite a bit,
but it didn't translate into real world improvements. Turns out the real
problem is startup time.
use Test::More;
0.98
real 0m0.021s
user 0m0.016s
sys 0m0.004s
1.5
real 0m0.092s
user 0m0.083s
sys 0m0.008s
That's going to be a tough one to cut down, simply because Test::Builder1.5
contains so many more individual files to load and attributes to set up.
There's some things it's doing at compile time that can be hard coded (like
setting up all the Result subclasses), but what shaves off a good chunk is
using Mouse with XS.
1.5 with XS Mouse
real 0m0.070s
user 0m0.061s
sys 0m0.007s
So that's another point in its favor.
