The problem is not with running the tests, it's with building them. In heavily templated libraries(like, for example Phobos), building without unittests takes seconds and building with unitetests takes minutes - mainly because the tests need to to many template instantiations. If we could tell the compiler to only build a single, specific test the development cycle can become orders of magnitude faster.
This is fixed by having smaller modules. If test for a single module takes more than few blinks of an eye, something is wrong already.
