Taking the average of the best 3 out of 5 runs for a couple of the junit
tests, I get the following:
TRUNK CMPLX DIFF%
junit-basic 4.87s 4.92s 1.01%
junit-layout-standard 36.34s 36.72s 1.04%
In the case of junit-layout-standard, there are 25 more tests run in the
Complex Script branch.
So, I'd say that there is about a 1% decrease in speed performance based on
this data.
I doubt if users will even notice this, so this would argue for enabling by
default.
