I have a larger test suite (25,000 tests), and my passing tests are
usually not just "ok", they have a label with them. When tests fail, the
labels of the nearby passing tests are helpful to understand the context
of the failure.

`prove` has an option off --failures-only. I haven't checked to see how
that's implemented, but it seems fair to optimize that particular case
by throwing away the non-failures, since the user asked not to have them
reported.
