This is all about faster feedback?

Sometimes I wish we had better tools for running a few choice tests to get fast feedback, and doing the heavy PBT via some async workflow

It might be possible to optimize the string/keyword generators by avoiding the intermediate vectors. Would be interesting to try, and would speed up a lot of people's tests if it works

...but mostly yes

when 100 iterations of tests takes 10 minutes versus 30 seconds, I think that goes beyond "faster feedback"

test.chuck has a mechanism for varying how many tests are run

yeah, I use that on our CI

but overall it gets into other factors especially with the CI

Circle has a time limit for any given test run of 2 hours

which I was hitting a lot in the early days of this project

@mattly is this jvm or js? I'll probably do some profiling
