I'm saying that the 96 CPU seconds that Math::BigInt spends running 22,000 tests (yes, literally 22 thousand tests) is not necessary for each upgrade. I'd be satisfied with about 100 key tests, and the rest could be set aside for masochists.
I mean c'mon, testing is cool and all that, but do you really
need to test 22,000 points in the whole spectrum?

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
