I agree hardware should be that quick, but CI and cloud hardware is woefully underpowered unless you actively seek it out. I’ve also never seen a test framework spew out even close to that in practice. I’m not even sure most frameworks would do that with noop tests, which is sad.

10 years ago my very testing-competent coworker had us running 4200 tests in 37 seconds. In NodeJS. We should be doing as well that today without a gifted maintainer.

I've got an i9 and an NVMe drive. running npm test with 10k no-op tests takes 30 seconds, which is much quicker than I expected it to be (given how slow everything else in the node world is).
Running dotnet test on the other hand with 10k empty tests took 95 seconds.
Honestly, 10k no-op tests should be limited by disk IO, and in an ideal world would be 10 seconds.
