While converting Xtest's junit tests to xtest format, I found that getting the Guice Injector takes a long time. Need to make sure this is done once for when all tests are run and perhaps add "static" values to xtest tests that stay in memory in between tests so they don't need to be reinitialized every time a file is saved.

Heavy-weight shared fixtures are best avoided in any unit tests. But if they must be used they are also best left to junit so the developer can control how and when to invoke.
