The
testscr_check_kdb_internal_suitetest alone takes now about 40 minutes of time oni7. Usingtmpfsfor the config and cache directories (due to heavy I/O) reduces the test time from 40 minutes to about 6 seconds oni7.Another idea: we could use ramdisk for parts or all of the tests, at least on slow machines.
Just an idea: maybe
libeatmydataspeeds up these tests as Elektra uses fsync excessively.
