Test run summary time is wildly incorrect

[mitchwd]

Current behavior

The time shown in the text summary at the end of a test is wildly different to the actual time the test took to run.

Running time npx cypress run --component shows two very different times:

 ✔  All specs passed!                        00:39      323      315        -        8        -  

npm run test:component  330.06s user 74.00s system 170% cpu 3:56.71 total

00:39 != 330 seconds

Desired behavior

I expect the summary to show the actual combined test run time.

Test code to reproduce

time npx cypress run --component

@mitchwd Yah, this is a known issue. The test timing actually only shows the mocha execution times of the tests, so there could have been some other things happening during loading the browser, loading the spec, recording video, uploading to the Cloud (if recording) that aren't accurately captured in this timing.

I'd suggest running in debug mode mode to troubleshoot where timing may be going towards to narrow down the timing difference.
