nexe tests taking too long

[John Mccutchan]

Hi,

Specifically: mojo:view_manager_service_apptests_x64.nexe on Debug is taking > minute to complete. This is a major drag on my iteration times. 

Whoever owns this test, is there anything we can do to speed it up?

Thanks,

John

The problem is that the test runner repeatedly tears down and reloads the entire executable and executable startup is slow due to design constraints.  The simplest solutions are either to optimize the test runner or to move the test to a suite outside of normal iterations.

Probably the right thing to do is to make those tests not leak state between tests (which forces us to run each test in a fresh shell). Unfortunately, no one owns the view manager right now. :(

(This is also a big hit when running tests on Android.)
