Robert Muir commented on LUCENE-2970:
-------------------------------------

i ran the random test for a good hour:
{noformat}
junit-sequential:
    [junit] Testsuite: org.apache.lucene.util.automaton.TestSpecialOperations
    [junit] Tests run: 10000, Failures: 0, Errors: 0, Time elapsed: 3,908.995 
sec
    [junit]
{noformat}

I'll rename the old method (in the testUtil for testing correctness) to *Slow 
as Mike suggested,
with an additional warning that if we ever start generating larger automata for 
testing, it will
blow up, and commit.

> in an application of mine, i experienced some very slow query times with 
> finite automata (all the DFAs are acyclic)
> It turned out, the slowdown is some terrible runtime in 
> SpecialOperations.isFinite <-- this is used to determine if the DFA is 
> acyclic or not.
> (in this case I am talking about even up to minutes of cpu).
