The patch intends to speed up testing by not using DDL instead logs the INSERT/DELETE/UPDATE queries and plays them back. This still needs quite a bit of work, 1) drop the tables the test installed 2) persist across batch (that's one of the reasons why we are using strings in the changelog)

Talked to chx about this in IRC a bit. I don't like the approach of adding a parallel logging system but we discussed possible alternate implementations, mostly based around alternate drivers. chx is going to keep investigating to see if this would even result in a speedup in the first place, and if so we'll revisit how to hook it into the system.

And yeah, subscribing. :-)

Also had discussion with chx about previous attempts at this and this approach. Also subscribing.

I wonder how this differs to #666956: Provide DrupalCloneTestCase for testing pre-configured drupal sites?

I.e., wouldn't be a lot easier if the first setUp() in a test case would dump/copy the structure + data somewhere directly after finishing the first setUp(), and have later invoked setUp()s reload/import that data?

In other words: Invoke setUp() only once per test case. 2-nth test does not invoke setUp(), restores "cached" state of first setUp() only.
