Thank you very much!  We'll definitely try it out.

That fits our experience exactly.  Our unit tests slowed down
dramatically, but our integration tests didn't.  I wish I had noticed
that difference at the time, but I was so focused on the unit-test
slowdown that I didn't really think about it.  (If anything, I
attributed the difference to the fact that we have so many *more* unit
tests.)
