Subject: Test::Unit speed

Okay, this is sort of embarrassing, but for some time now I've been 
using the (deprecated) RubyUnit instead of Test::Unit. Since RubyConf 
I've been using Test::Unit for newer projects, and I'm definitely happy 
with all the various improvements.

But now I'm trying to switch over a pre-existing private project to 
Test::Unit, and it seems to run a lot slower than RubyUnit. I've got 
about 350 unit tests, which used to run in about a minute in RubyUnit. 
But now when I try to run them in Test::Unit, they won't even complete. 
Individual tests run fine, but everything seems like it's a lot slower.

Has anybody else encountered this problem? Any particular quirks or 
workarounds I should be aware of? Thanks in advance.
