Nothing should have changed on this side. Refactoring happened only on
internals.

Hi All,
What should the expectations be for compatibility with the current
versions of the reporting plugin and the failsafe plugin?

It's already the case :)
I implemented what I didn't want to, because it's just another
reflection code because of Java 8 requirement
So for Java 9+ users, there will be usage of the lazy StackWalker, see
PR https://github.com/apache/maven-surefire/pull/3374
It's improving the default situation still not as fast though but
(except if we can find a really better solution, I have some ideas but
need to experiment them) we will probably need to disable this by
default as it's very useful only for junit 5+ users using the junit
parallel execution.

Thank you for the explanation and the suggested setting – works the
problem around for me.
I'm not aware of the implementation details, but the property name
suggests it is looking at the stack trace. Maybe looking at the current
thread and thread group could be more reliable, and faster. It could be
more reliable as the test itself may spawn a thread where the output
happens.

Thanks a lot for the report.
I definitely know what the problem is, and was a bit scared of this :)
You can use something such
-Dsurefire.stackTraceMaxFrames=-1
I would say that every higher value is useful for JUnit 5+ when
parallel execution is enabled.
Long story short, the goal is to fix this
https://github.com/apache/maven-surefire/issues/3215
But in your case, using Junit4, it's not necessary.
I will try to find a way to improve this.

redirectTestOutputToFile=false appears to add a fixed overhead with both
versions:
maven-surefire-plugin | redirectTestOutputToFile | time
----------------------|--------------------------|------:
3.5.6 | true | 17s
3.5.6 | false | 37s
3.6.0-M1 | true | 57s
3.6.0-M1 | false | 1m 17s
So doesn't appear a factor. I've opened:
- https://github.com/apache/maven-surefire/issues/3373
with the example I'm trying with.

Hi Stanimir,
Thanks for testing the M1 and reporting this.
We really appreciate it, and this is exactly the sort of feedback we
need for this milestone serie before final release

Does the slowdown happen with maven.test.redirectTestOutputToFile=false?
Can you create some issue with such report? Anything to reproduce
would be great.

Comparing 3.5.6 and 3.6.0-M1, I'm noticing a very apparent slow down
with (JUnit 4) tests that produce larger output (500K-1MB,
maven.test.redirectTestOutputToFile=true).
