Looks like this test execs a new VM for 66 times to exhaust the combination of 
with and without security manager, with a valid or malformed policy, client & 
custom loader in unnamed, named, automatic module.  I think we could take out 
the automatic module case as named module would verify it.  One refactor you 
can consider  by separating them in several @run actions.  The timeout will 
apply to each action but that does not help shorten the test execution time.
