Running one test won't really give much useful information. I also wrote:

"On a machine with local disk and running nothing else, no speedup. With a slow 
filesystem, like an external, network, or cloud (!) drive, yes. I would also 
expect it to speed up when the machine is running a lot of other stuff."
