title: Is there any way to speed up the Selenium Server load time?
body: <p>By design, Selenium makes a new copy of your Firefox profile each time a new test is run.  I find this copy time is a considerable bottleneck, especially when running 100s of tests.  (5-15 seconds to copy the profile anew).</p>
  
  <p>Does anyone know of any override behavior for this?  I'd prefer my Selenium server to just reuse the same firefox profile.  I know this violates the "cleanly set up your test fixtures" philosophy, but it's a shortcut I'm willing to take, as my tests don't materially alter my firefox profile enough to jeopardize future tests. </p>
