Details

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1630982 +++

Shutdown is slow because we write things to disk and do cleanups (eg. garbage collection). There's an ongoing effort (tracked in bug 1606879) to make shutdown faster in general by doing the writes during the beginning of shutdown, and then terminating the process with an exit(0) for optimized builds.

For reftest, we can terminate without worrying about what we write to disk, so we can be much more agressive.
