I wouldn't be worried about spending minutes to save hours
later.

As for unit tests taking hours -- I'm skeptical. Do you
know of algorithms that it's provably impossible to test
without it taking hours?

Thirdly -- your program can *still* fail after many hours
due to one of the many things your static checks don't and
can't cover.
