Q: 

Unit Tests Execute Really Slowly in Visual Studio 2008

I downloaded the MVC Storefront source code from Codeplex (http://mvcsamples.codeplex.com/) (the "Recommended Download", not from the most recent source code). If I click the "Run all tests in solution" button in VS 2008, the tests start to run, but they take about 3 seconds EACH, and there are 194 tests which would take about 10 minutes if I waited for it to finish.

Is this slowness an issue with the tests or Visual Studio 2008? In the MVC Storefront videos from Rob Conery which I think are excellent BTW, his tests execute really quickly.

Thanks for the help! Andy
