Hi
A few people were able to use the new run-tests.php code to run tests in
parallel on different platforms. I've plotted the results here:
http://zoah.co.uk/update-parallel-run-tests-php.
Thanks very much for doing that, thanks also for the bugs you found in
doing so (blush) - I will fix.
Interesting data, suggests that 4 processes is optimal and that the best
we can hope for is being able to run in about 1/3rd of the time they run
in at the moment. At some stage I will look at where it's spending its
time and see if we can improve on these results. For now I think
completing the implementation and fixing bugs has a higher priority for me.
