Comment (by boonebgorges):

 I profiled the xmlrpc tests, and one bottleneck is the authentication
 process. `get_user_by( 'login' )` takes a stupid amount of time.
 [attachment:33968.diff] mocks the authentication process. I'm not sure if
 this is safe to do across all xmlrpc tests - probably not for the ones
 that are meant to test invalid u/p - but it does seem to reduce `phpunit
 --group xmlrpc` by about 15-20%.
