running a test file is slow when there are failing tests

[nicoder]

When I run a single test with phpunit myTest.php:

• it is fast if there are no errors
• it seems like it takes 10 seconds when there is an error/failure

I tracked it down to the PHPUnit_Util_GlobalState#phpunitFiles method, which takes seven seconds to run on my windows 7 box (php 5.4.19, phpunit 3.7.24).

I wonder if this commit is not the culprit :
8941060

but then I could not test by juste replacing the file with the previous commit because for example the phpunit_autoload function does not exist any more.

As a workaround I will cache the file names in a file on disk.

Someone seemed to have the same issue on stackoverflow :

@whatthejeff @edorian Could you have a look at the branch, please? The filtering of stacktraces no longer relies on blacklisted files but rather on blacklisted class names. For this to work properly, though, the line/file information needs to be shifted from frame n to frame n+1 (caller vs. callee). Currently 3 tests of PHPUnit's own test suite fail on my machine after this patch. Will investigate when I have more time.

@sebastianbergmann I'm pretty swamped for the next couple of weeks. I'll try to find some time, though.

@whatthejeff No worries.
