What steps will reproduce the bug?

Run tests with --experimental-test-coverage option. Comparing it to other solutions (f.e. running Node tests and getting the coverage with nyc) this is way slower. For instance, on a repo with ~800 tests, collecting coverage with nyc takes 77s, while running with --experimental-test-coverage takes 148s.

How often does it reproduce? Is there a required condition?

I can reproduce it every time I run the Node tests with the native test coverage option.

What is the expected behavior? Why is that the expected behavior?

The performances should be at least equal (ideally better) than with 3rd party dependencies (like nyc).

What do you see instead?

An average time spent per test of 185ms vs 96ms.

Additional information

I tried running with/without additional options (f.e. --test-coverage-exclude, --test-coverage-include, --test-coverage-branches, --test-coverage-functions, --test-coverage-lines) but it didn't help. The performance issue seems only to be related to the algorithm that's triggered by the --experimental-test-coverage option.

Commencez par reproduire les temps indiqués avec une suite d’environ 800 tests, en comparant --experimental-test-coverage à nyc et aux options de couverture listées. Suivez l’algorithme de couverture déclenché par l’option native ; le travail est terminé lorsque la couverture reste correcte tout en ayant des performances nettement plus proches de celles de la comparaison.
