Seven minutes is excessive.

Sure. The one vignette contains simulation code which needs 1E5 to 1E6 
sims to get a stable result. Fewer sims are simply not meaningful.
Since we use a pre-complied vignette now the execution time is 
essentially zero.
The others take 45 seconds in total.
If we would pre-compile the second slowest as well, we would be down for 
the remaining four at 12 seconds.

I have (long) gone by the rule of "about one minute" each for tests and examples.

OK. Do you know of any reference for this "rule"?
