On a new computer, it would probably be 20 minutes or so. The cgi script would be invoked at 1,000-2,0000 thousand times. This is the short test set, the full test set takes about 14 hours on my computer. I really don't mind the overhead while running the tests, the real killer is that cover keep using up all of the memory and getting killed before it can generate the html report.
