Description

With gradle 1.4/1.5 the Groovy now run a lot of faster, but i noticed that some test take a lot of the total time.

The main "offenders" seem to be:

org.codehaus.groovy.reflection.WeakMapTest.testClassUnload takes 25% of the total test execution time (over 2 minutes on the buildserver). Is it really necessary to execute the loop a 1000 times or would a fewer loops /fewer gc calls suffice?

groovy.transform.stc.MiscSTCTest.testFibonacci takes 46 seconds and looks more like a "manual" performance test (no asserts concerning performance). Can this test be deactivated (or at least calculate the fibonacci function of a smaller number)?

org.codehaus.groovy.classgen.asm.sc.MiscStaticCompileTest.testEachFileRecurse can also be slow. It takes 22 seconds on the buildserver at the moment. I guess for this test it would be enough to create a some temp directories with files in them instead of iterating over the whole java.io.tmpdir?
