The replication.js test grew a lot after the new replicator was introduced. Basically it covers a lot more scenarios then the old replication.js test, and tests with larger amounts of documents and continuous replications. I think this is a good thing and inevitable (due to bug fixes, new features, etc). The replicator_db.js does several server restart calls, which are necessary to test this feature. After Jan's patch to add a "verify installation" feature to Futon, I don't think individual tests taking 1, 2 or 5 minutes are an issue, as long as they succeed. For a database management system, having much more comprehensive tests (which mean that they take longer to run) is a good thing.
