Hi Travis,
All it does is adds another option, -x, to run-tests.php. This sets an environmental variable which can then be checked for in the SKIPIF section of very slow-running tests.
How do you specify that "test A is slow"? Is there a certain skipif message you include, or...?
Yep. The two that bug me most are actually labelled 'slow test', so having a skipif condition for those wouldn't be too obscure. Note that it's only intended for when you're repeatedly running the same group of tests... I like Chris's idea better, but can't see a way to implement it. There's probably something really obvious I'm missing, let me know if. - Steph
