That is good guidance.

I haven't timed any manual test cases that we have, but I would be
surprised if they took that long.

One area that would help to optimise, is if we had somewhere to store
sample/example files. A lot of time is wasted for each test trying to
find a "free" file somewhere on the internet (or decompressing example
files provided with the package hidden deep in /usr/......).

This is also one of the reasons the tests take so long to write.

Cheers,

Ross
