Subject: revising test run times and test logging
X-Git-Url: https://feistymeow.org/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=fec7beeaa3af19439cdd203356883b758c1d1330;p=feisty_meow.git

revising test run times and test logging

found some longer running tests (defined currently as longer
than 5 seconds run time) and made them limbo under the bar.
added timestamps in the target runner. turned off debug in dir tree test.
