really, phpunit tests are pretty small; i dont think it could be *that*
much difference.
phpunit has some other features you may have overlooked, such
as code coverage analysis. it will also generate test stubs as well,
via a cli argument
phpunit --skeleton
however, with phpunit, im not sure exactly how to test procedural files
or even sets of global functions. it is really designed for testing only
classes, afaik..
