Hi guys,

I'm trying to optimize our Django testing workflow.

We have 7 different databases, and Django spends a lot of time on these lines: 

Creating test database for alias 'main_database'...

Creating test database for alias 'foo_database'...

Creating test database for alias 'bar_database'...

Creating test database for alias 'baz_database'...

This is especially annoying when you're running just one test, but have to wait 1:30 minutes just for these test databases.

Is there any way to speed this up? Either by parallelizing it or in any other way. A few months ago I tried some naive code that parallelizes these actions, but it failed. (Unfortunately I don't have the error message saved.)

Thanks,

Ram.
