[Python-Dev] Extremely slow test modules (original) (raw)

Hi,

Is there a reason some of our tests are excruciatingly slow in -uall mode? test_multiprocessing_spawn is understandable (after all, it will spawn a new executable for each subprocess), but other tests leave me baffled:

Why does datetime, 2to3 or tokenize testing take so long? And do we have so many tools that it should take 7 minutes to run all of them? I must admit, I don't understand how we got to such a point.

Regards

Antoine.
