Currently, Elixir compiles all test cases before we run them. This is starting to get prohibitive. For example, almost half of the time of the current test suite (around 7s in my machine) is spent on compilation.

The best solution would be to have a manifest file that keeps information about tests cases and tests runs so recompile only the cases we need without a need to manually list tests cases as per eunit.
