Comment (by jmichaelward):

 I spent some time digging around the web for answers to this issue and
 have come up mostly empty. One question I do have is whether the speed in
 which tests run in Travis are related to the mere presence of Xdebug, or
 rather that Xdebug is enabled for the duration of the test process.

 Xdebug does have two methods - `xdebug_enable` and `xdebug_disable` which,
 I would think, could be triggered within particular tests that require the
 `xdebug_get_headers` method. This would require Xdebug to be included in
 the Travis PHP ini file, but with the `default_enable` flag set to `false`
 and, I believe, `remote_enable` set to true. Outside of that, I haven't
 found a definitive way to get headers while PHP is running in the CLI.
