My branch that can (but by default doesn't) run subprocesses in parallel is ready to merge. It's not a panacea (if you have carefully crafted layers that can all be torn down, your test runs will probably be slower with the feature switched on), but for the common -- I believe -- case of having several layers that can't be torn down, tests run much faster on multi-core machines.
The branch is svn+ssh://svn.zope.org/repos/main/zope.testing/branches/benji-parallelize-subprocesses. If no one finds major problems with the branch by the middle of next week, I'll merge it to the trunk. -- Benji York Senior Software Engineer Zope Corporation _______________________________________________ Zope-Dev maillist - Zope-Dev@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope )
