It just doesn't make any sense that we don't capture duration for test runs. This is not great performance information, but we should at least capture the information and make historical information available.

Now that we're on a *relatively* homogenous environment, the numbers might mean something. Really the averages are only a little useful. But I just don't think we can skip having them.

This would be great to have, we can't rely on it, but even if it only catches issues that make test runs slow (or confirms testing performance improvements) that would be enough reason to do it.

in reality this is probably a Simpletest issue first... which makes it a core issue first... Which probably means we should get something into simpletest quickly. I created #1205162: Simpletest should report test duration for individual tests and for the entire run in the Drupal 8 (simpletest) queue.
