That is a lot faster for me too:

Ran 165 tests.

OK

real	0m41.300s
user	0m10.122s
sys	0m22.926s

while it is > 2m30 with bats, so ~75% speedup.

Though I get these errors on some tests:

test_gpiodetect_all_chips
./gpio-tools-test.bash: line 40: assertContains: command not found
./gpio-tools-test.bash: line 40: assertContains: command not found
./gpio-tools-test.bash: line 40: assertContains: command not found
test_gpiodetect_a_chip

and the overall test suite still passed, which is a bit of a worry.

Hmmm, seems assertContains was added in 2.1.8 and I'm still on 2.1.6.
I'll have to update.

Overall looks promising.

Cheers,
Kent.
