I understand the issue with time constraints on checks, and I think there are discussions in progress about that. My suggestion has been to put in place a way for a tester to say that checks need to be run within a tight time limit, and CRAN as tester will do that in cases where it cares about the timing.
Sounds good.
But even with the current (or past, it may have changed already) behaviour of tight limits for CRAN testing, you can put in code in your package that allows for longer tests in certain conditions. You'll run them, and if you advertise them, others will run them too.
For me this applies to certain vignettes. Thanks to a pointer from K Hansen, I'm told I can handle this by putting the long one in inst/doc and the short ones in vignettes. I'll be trying this out soon.
