Good looking out Christoph, I can confirm the behavior you report --
unchecking "Reload when test assembly changes" fixes the behavior.

-- 
nunit.exe session degrades with ever-lengthening "Reloading..." phase when test project is recompiled

Status in NUnit V2 Test Framework: New

Bug description:
I'm using nunit to do unit testing for an ASP.NET MVC 2 project. I have a solution with two projects, one being the actual application, and the other being the unit tests. I use the nunit.exe gui to run the unit tests. I invoke the tests by opening up the dll produced by building the project.

The first few times everything runs smoothly, with nunit.exe automatically reloading the project when I make changes and rebuild.  However, this starts to take a longer and longer amount of time, and eventually, it will get into loop where it says "Reloading..." and the window flickers for a second, says "Reloading...", lather rinse repeat.  The behavior is very non-deterministic from what I can observe so far.  Sometimes it's fine for ages, sometimes it dies immediately.  Perhaps particular change to the project cause massive problems in nunit.exe.  I am happy to investigate if someone can point me in the right direction.
