Description

The tests take a while to run for me: usually just under 2 minutes on my MacBook Pro.

Would anyone object to the tests (that are currently run from one file) being split up into multiple files so that mocha can be run with --parallel to run the different test files in parallel? I suspect they can run faster in parallel (they can use more CPU cores).

See https://mochajs.org/#parallel-tests for details and caveats.

Locate the single test file currently used by the mocha command and review the repository's test scripts. Check Mocha's parallel-test caveats against the existing tests, then split the suite into independently runnable files and verify that the parallel command passes without changing coverage or behavior.
