Problem/Motivation

Currently we set the kernel environment to 'testing' in TestBase::rebuildContainer() but we don't use that information.

Proposed resolution

Set the environment to 'testing' any time we are withing a test request, and make tweaks to speed up Drupal, such as reducing the number of password hashes.

    Thank you for creating this issue to improve Drupal.

    We are working to decide if this task is still relevant to a currently supported version of Drupal. There hasn't been any discussion here for over 8 years which suggests that this has either been implemented or is no longer relevant. Your thoughts on this will allow a decision to be made.

    Since we need more information to move forward with this issue, the status is now Postponed (maintainer needs more info). If we don't receive additional information to help with the issue, it may be closed after three months.

    Thanks!

    Since we've moved from phpass to the native PHP hashing this is relevant but likely needs a little different code change.

    I see in this test file that we set a different cost parameter:
    core/modules/user/tests/modules/user_custom_pass_hash_params_test/user_custom_pass_hash_params_test.services.yml

    The proposal here is to have a way for all tests to set this to a low value which would save time and cpu on every user login in every functional/e2e test
