I'll try... sigh, I have a list of things to do that does not fit 
anymore a 20" screen (and it's written in 8pt char).

5 minutes for what? Which hardware?
Some sort of ratio maybe... each module
should not take more than x% of the total build time.
This would at least be hardware independent. Say, no more than 5%
or the build time, or a lower percentage
(that would be 30 seconds on my PC).
Or else, if build boxes are not loaded with anything else, we could
use the build boxes timings and set an absolute limit.
Anyways, that should be per module, since the number of modules is
growing, otherwise each time a module is added we require other modules
to reduce their testing times...

Here I disagree. You would convey the opposite message, that is,
staying in unsupported you dont' really need tests, nobody will
run them anyways.
