#2446: Optimize test runs: test db and fake master
------------------------+---------------------------
Reporter:  dustin       |      Owner:
    Type:  enhancement  |     Status:  new
Priority:  major        |  Milestone:  0.8.+
 Version:  0.8.7p1      |   Keywords:  tests, sprint
------------------------+---------------------------
 Most of Buildbot's tests build a fake master.  This involves setting up a
 fake data API and a fake DB API instance, among other things - and all of
 it takes some time.  With a bit of care, the fake master could probably be
 cached and "reset" between runs.

 Similarly, a lot of tests set up a blank SQLite DB with the current model,
 then start doing things to it.  This could be optimized by taking a copy
 of the blank DB on disk, and blitting it back to disk between test runs --
 rather than removing it and running all those `CREATE TABLE` statements.
