Thank you for working towards giving us extra tools to help us prevent 
regressions. It is definitely something we can put to good use. However, 
the total time it takes to test a file is somewhat of a bad metric as 
adding lots of (sometimes relatively computationally intensive) tests to a 
file will make it look like it had a regression, which is the case you 
mentioned for Lie algebras (e.g., see https://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/22883). 
Perhaps it would be better to normalize the differences based on the change 
in the number of doctests, so when doctests are added, it is less likely to 
show a large increase.

For me, the x-axis marks on the graphs are obscured by the top bar, so it 
makes it harder to understand what the commits are referring to.

Best,
Travis
