David,
Regarding the Fast Marching, there is a very large difference in time between
the Debug and the Release mode for that algorithm. Specifically, this
algorithms utilizes some non-ideal STL iterator usage across thread. Combined
with the STL debug library on Visual Studio with verification and other checks,
it makes them not really practical in debug mode.
Additionally, dashboard contributors can add:
set(CTEST_TEST_ARGS ${CTEST_TEST_ARGS} EXCLUDE_LABEL RUNS_LONG)
to not run these long tests mentioned here.
I think there is some value in some example/application oriented tests that are
longer, but your average regression test should be very snappy.
