Question -- or perhaps this is the Agile me coming out at the wrong time

Surely we should be setting up "other" tests to check that tests finish 
executing within a certain time period. Thus we should not be outputting 
the time each test takes to the console, only the fact that a certain 
"test" took longer to execute that expected -- that was in the original 
UniTest++
