This is cool! I also see (from very very very) short look on the github
diff that you have a parallelization protection for some tests, which
might share resources. Very good!
Kind of unrelated: Somewhere on my 10+ years old todo list I also have
the item of using FastCGI or similar for running tests to avoid running
tthrough MINIT/MSHUTDOWN for each and every test (for some we can'T
avoid due to ini requirements, but well) maybe a less hackish way for
parallelizing might be using fpm workers and async io (just to spin the
idea, maybe somebody takes it up ...)
