Jesse Glick commented on SUREFIRE-751:
--------------------------------------

Getting harder to keep track of the different thread-related options; what is the interaction between {{parallel}} and {{forkmode="perthread"}}? http://maven.apache.org/surefire/maven-surefire-plugin/examples/junit.html mentions parallelism but not (in this context) forking.

> The current parallel execution spawns one thread _per_class_
> When there is a large disparity between the number of tests in different classes, this can result in a longer execution time. This can often happen in GUI testing, where a couple of classes will contain a lot of long running (but low cpu) test cases, and the remaining classes run fast.
> See http://maven-junit-plugin.kenai.com/ for an attempt at solving this
