Which takes approximately one hour to run.
We should fix this, because otherwise nobody is going to run the unit
tests before committing something.

I have mysql tmpdir set to a tmpfs filesystem (mysql doesn't support
in-memory tables with BLOBs).
Using a different hardware, a cold cache and creating the temporary
tables on disk, it may take a few minutes, but not an hour.
On the other hand, running phpunit parser tests can take that long.
Whereas the good old parserTests.php takes ~44s, too. All the other time
is db overhead droping and duplicating tables, inserting articles and
waiting for the db answer.
I tested performing a new mysql connection instead of dropping each
table separatedly, but it was slower. A change that could improve
perfomance would be to insert everything on a main temporary table, and
clone that with its content for each parser test.
Or we could try to remove the db dependency altogether for parser tests.
