Well, the main reason is modularity which makes it easy to maintain, run
particular tests independently, add new tests, avoid having to edit a file that
is several megabytes large...

The overhead isn't really noticible. Arguably WebCore should live in a single
file because that decreases linking overhead, what do you think? ;)
