True enough. One thing I think that we should not normally run is tests that require hand configuration to truly run well. For example, the GSSAPI tests, if you don't have Kerberos running on your machine, then it will take more than a few minutes to complete. Maybe we could name those tests *ConfiguableTest.java and just exclude those.
