In my debug builds panic terminates the process right away, it takes no time.

In release builds panic takes a second or two before the process termintes.

Normally who cares, but I have a weird test setup where I run my executable on about a hundred files. Most of them panic today.

As I fix the tests there will be no panics, but today running this test suite spends maybe half a minute on these post-panic delays.

I investigated this issue a little bit and it turns out it's this line in my Cargo.toml that causes the issue:

[profile.release]
panic = "abort"

With the default panic setting (unwind?) the processes terminate fast.

Is this expected? How can aborting the process take longer than aborting right away on panic?
