It seems to me like the time Devel::Cover takes to do its book-keeping
when a process terminates is linear in the total number of files in the

particular process.

This seems unfortunate for at least two reasons:
1) it ends up taking a really long time to run the tests. At some
point, maybe long enough that nightly tests become prohibitive (even
more so for continuous integration).
Kevin:
I figured that someone more knowledgeable than I would respond to your
post, but since no one has, let me pose this question:
In what sort of context are you running Devel::Cover nightly? On what
modules or over what code?
I know from both personal and Phalanx use that it's not fast, but I
wouldn't expect it to be, nor do I really need it to be. So I'm
wondering how you use it?
Thanks.
