It took 1m11s on ARAnyM, running on an i7-8700K.
Real hardware may even take longer.

What would be a suitable value? You do want to see it "leak gigabytes
of memory and probably OOM your system" if something's wrong,
so decreasing the value a lot may not be a good idea?
Regardless, if it OOMs, I think you do want to see this happens
while running this test.
