This is a known issue and is a performance problem with a PHP4
compatible version. The PHP5 version can look for the tidy extension to
speed things up, and so can do a lot more parsing.

A future version of SimpleTest will recognise a method called within()
used in two ways...

$this->within('#my-form')->assertField('life', 42);
$this->within('#my-form')->assertField('pi', 3.14);
$this->assertTitle('stuff');

...or...

$this->within('#my-form')
$this->assertField('life', 42);
$this->assertField('pi', 3.14);
$this->withinAll();     // or $this->within('*');
$this->assertTitle('stuff');

These would be equivalent. As will be this...

$this->assertField(new CssSelector('#life'), 42);
$this->within('#my-form')->assertField('#life', 42);
$this->assertField('#my-form #life', 42);

You may have to wait for this. I haven't written the CSS parser yet!
