What's the difference between passing -m or -p and not passing any option at all? The following all run the same number of tests at the same speed afaict: ./bin/test -p lp.codehosting.vfs.tests -u ./bin/test -m lp.codehosting.vfs.tests -u ./bin/test lp.codehosting.vfs.tests -u Also, I don't understand the difference between -m and -p, given that you pass a package to -m... oh, it seems that -m takes a regexp whereas -p takes a package path. That suggests that -p ought to be fractionally faster, but it really doesn't seem to make any difference to me. In any case, yeah, don't use -t if you can get away without it!
