Profiling thru test/unit

I want my tests to run in <5 seconds. Otherwise I get bored, drift off,
start downloading comics, etc.

I can't seem to Google this up. Googling for "-n" is problematic. What
Google search terms would work?

And what is the presumed relation between my command line (if "-n" is a
command line argument) and my explicit test runner?

            runner = Test::Unit::UI::Console::TestRunner
# noise = Test::Unit::UI::NORMAL
            noise = Test::Unit::UI::VERBOSE
            got = runner.run(aTestCase, noise)

-n [NAME] will run all tests matching NAME (NAME may be a pattern)
(-t [NAME] will run all the tests in the NAME testcase (NAME may be a pattern))

use it like this:

$ ruby test_r43.rb -n person #runs all tests with 'person in their name'

Okay. I don't want to profile, I just want to pick specific tests.

However, that command line argument doesn't get all the way to my
testrunner, which looks like this:

Do you do anything with ARGV?

You'll need to set the filters up, have a look at how test/unit/autorunner.rb does it.
