Checking locally is good, but I'm also concerned about increasing
testing time for every btest run. How about making it an option? We
can use @test-requires to test some preconditionn, like a set
environment variable.

Alternatively, I have a btest patch pending that introduces test
groups. With that, we could make a group "long-tests" for tests that
take a while to run. btest would then just need another option to not
run certain groups by default (the patch already has an option to
*only* run certain groups).
