rust-skeptic: Running skeptic tests are slow

This is perhaps not noticeable with only a few tests but I currently have 29 tests which are generated by skeptic which now take up a non-negligible amount of time. From what I can tell from the source and the generated tests this is because all tests are recompiled every time cargo test is run and they are also all individually compiled. Is there any good reason for this and could it be changed? I’d be happy to implement the change if it is not to problematic.

@Phlosioneer I doubt that is a big problem, as I measured, it is the fact that rustc gets invoked once for each skeptic test and therefore generates one executable for each tests which makes it so slow.
