@manwar Test2 is great, but whenever I see something using yath on one of my #CPAN testing machines it seems to be incredibly slow. Don't know why, and have better things to do than investigate, but that's put me off using it.

@DrHyde It is slower, I noticed too.

@manwar
@DrHyde it can be slower on startup, so running individual small tests can be worse. It shines on large test suites by improving paralellization and sha$ing startup time by preloading modules. It also keeps better historic results which are useful at work. Not sure it is a great fit for many CPAN modules.

@AFresh1 @manwar it's possible that it's the parallelization that is slowing it down in my case. I'm already running more CPU-heavy processes than I have CPUs, so more parallelisation is unlikely to make anything faster, and may makes things slower.
