Share the opened browser instance across different test cases – because that is how the most users do, e.g. they do not close the browser after each action.
If you really want parallel test execution, just run parallel processes… Multithreaded tests implementation inside a single process would add complexity to the code and kill your workstation performance.
Start using PageObjects – or your code will turn to real crap soon.
Are your 3000 UI tests took too much time? – You are doing something wrong when you want to test everything through UI. Consider 20 high level (UI) to 80 low level (HTTP Requests / Database / Unit) tests ratio.
Decouple your code: avoid copy-paste approach as long as it is reasonable:
- When the duplicated code in unique only for the given suite – create a separate method inside the suite
- When the duplicated code can be used globally across the project – move it to a special BusinessSteps class or to the specific page object class;
- when you code just extends WebDriver functionality and has no connection to your test project logic – move it to the framework core assembly.
When you work with PageObject, it is OK to create a lot of small methods with business logic oriented names. E.g., if you have the code, which opens a new project form:

btnNewProject.Click();
WaitForAjax();

Then just move it to a separate PageObject method:

var newProjectForm = projectsPage.OpenNewProjectForm();
