 each before and after the patch and based on my small sample, it actually
 ran slower with this change, though negligible.

 Yeah, those numbers are not significant. A bit more detail about the
 problem: `wp_install_maybe_enable_pretty_permalinks()` tries to ping your
 own domain. On the default test setup, that means 'example.org/2015/04/16
 /hello-world' or something like that. I was running into this problem
 because I was on a slow internet connection, which meant that
 `example.org` DNS lookups were timing out. If you don't have a lousy
 internet connection handy, you can reproduce the problem by finding a
 domain name that responds very slowly to pings, and using it as your
 `'WP_TESTS_DOMAIN'`.
