I still think this is valuable to have, and one important meta-data item
should be added: expected test run length (realy big thumb figure is
ok, either absolute or if cpu bound per cpu/mhz or something).

Having a way to run all quick tests with a limit of expected time per test
as a command line option and maybe a summary of total expected time upfront
would be very usefull.
