+> Why does each worker do its own collection, as opposed to having 
+the master collect once and distribute from that collection to the workers?
+
+If collection was performed by master then it would have to 
+serialize collected items to send them through the wire, as workers live in another process. 
+The problem is that test items are not easily (impossible?) to serialize, as they contain references to 
+the test functions, fixture managers, config objects, etc. Even if one manages to serialize it, 
+it seems it would be very hard to get it right and easy to break by any small change in pytest.
