I haven't smoked all of CPAN lately, but I believe that Steffen
Mueller smoked it against bleadperl recently and it took several days
but less than a week.

The thing about typical test reporting rates is that it depends on the
rate of new uploads, the size of dependency chains (if those have to
be built/installed), and the runtime of the test suites.

That's different than smoking all of CPAN, where many of the older
distribution have smaller dependency trees and smaller test suites (if
any tests at all).

They're related, certainly, but I suspect smoking all of CPAN will
give you a higher reporting rate than you'd experience just smoking
recent uploads.
