Comment (by boonebgorges):

 15 seconds reduction off of 100s total is a pretty big win, IMO. I don't
 see the downside.

 One thing I'd suggest is that the `$GLOBALS` juggling could happen inside
 of the `User` factory class. Perhaps the `create()` method could accept a
 `skip_password_hash` param that would default to false. This would make it
 more transparent how to override when a test case needs a hashed pass.
