Sorry for the late reply...

I'm afraid I'm unwilling to budge on the "one method, one file"
organization for the tests, at least for core Ruby. I'm also not sure
what your feelings are regarding benchmarks, which I use as a form of
high iteration testing as well as a way to check for pathological
slowdowns.

I think you'll find that sticking all class and instance methods for a
given class in one file will become unmanageable over time, especially
when you consider platform specific tests, $SAFE tests, etc.  IMHO,
separating the methods makes the tests easier to manage and will make
it easier for other people to contribute test cases.
