While they take a trivial amount of time running natively, the test_native_endian and test_non_native_endian unit tests previously took a long time to execute on Miri, slowing down local development and CI. As of the writing of this commit message, I was experiencing execution times for each test of ~60s.

This commit optimizes those tests in two ways:

  • Use a faster RNG
  • When running under Miri (detected using cfg!(miri)), perform a single loop iteration rather than 1024

Using time cargo miri test -- --skip ui, I have benchmarked the execution time before this commit at ~2m36s and the time after this commit at ~8s.
