No, it's twice the amount of time to run the test a second time. But if it's a unit test it's time you can be doing something else... or maybe when you install PHP from source you sit there and watch the unit tests run at the end? I go and do something else in another window. The whole point of unit tests is to automate testing things so that there's "less" work to do.
