Description
We are using --dist loadfile to distribute tests, and it is working well. We suspect some of our files are taking a long time, but have no good way to verify. We are using --verbose, so we get setup/run/teardown times, but don't have a 100% sure way of counting time elapsed by each file.
It would be nice if, at the end of the run, xdist would output the name of each file, and the total time taken by the file.

Research direction
The issue does not name a source file, test, or entry point. Start by tracing the implementation of --dist loadfile and the existing --verbose timing output, then identify where per-file durations can be collected and reported. Done means the end of a loadfile run lists each file and its total elapsed time.
