New description:
There are several improvements that would be good to make, including but
not limited to:
1. Forking rather than starting up a new Sage each time.
2. Customizeable comparison rather than mutating doctests into new
doctests (e.g. followup to #10952).
3. Eliminate need to write temporary files for every doctested file.
4. Provide mechanisms for recording and comparing timings.
5. Constant headaches caused by the difference in doctesting library vs.
non-library files.
6. The ability to drop into a debugger if a doctest raises an exception.
7. The ability to run different doctests in the same file in parallel.
Code at
http://code.google.com/p/sagemath-timer/
does most of the above, should be added to the sage library.
