I get this on WSL with prove -j8: Files=750, Tests=13657, 906 wallclock secs ( 8.51 usr 17.17 sys + 282.62 cusr 3731.85 csys = 4040.15 CPU) And this for a run on Debian inside a Hyper-V VM on the same system: Files=759, Tests=13895, 99 wallclock secs ( 4.81 usr 1.06 sys + 39.70 cusr 25.82 csys = 71.39 CPU) All tests pass on master.
