I recently found a test that was TIMEOUT in TestExpectations, and still
timed out in Slow, so I left it in TestExpectations under the assumption
that it will timeout faster there.

The underlying issue is not a slow test but a test that hangs and we may or
may not want to skip such a test. Would identifying these cases and moving
them from Slow to TestExpectations have any noticeable impact?
