Beta 2.0: Extremely slow running of unit tests when writing to Console?

If you are writing to console inside a test, this can really slow down the tests.

STR:

First run this and you'll see it's fairly quick to finish.

using System.Collections;


public void List()
{
IList list = new ArrayList(500);
for (int i=0; i < 500; i++)
{
list.Add("foo");
}

foreach(String item in list)
{
Assert.AreEqual("foo", item.ToString());
//Console.WriteLine(item.ToString());
}
}

Now uncomment the Console.WriteLine and you'll find it is significantly slower.

Yes, this is a know issue. The slowdown is caused by the suncronizing the
output window with the actual console output.

To sped-upthis case, youcould switchto the "failed" tab, or simply do not
track running test (uncheck the button in the Unit Test Runner toolbar)
