[LRUG] Large Slow Test Suites

[Mr Jaba]

Hi Mark,

Thanks for the suggestion. Minitest does have a -v mode which lists out the
time taken for each test, so I've managed to identify the slowest ones.
Admittedly I haven't looked for patterns in that yet though, that's a good
idea. Was playing around with ruby-prof earlier, but the output of that is
always so difficult to interpret!

Thanks

Tom
