In every single .t file that gets run by just about everybody.
By being THE testing framework, it places an upper bound on how fast anyone's
tests can be. 10 .t files per second, no faster. That sucks.

I run tests a lot while developing. I can see they're slower without even
benchmarking it. You wouldn't think you'd notice 70 ms, but you do.
I don't want to give anyone an excuse to not run tests often or not upgrade.
