If you have tests that take too long, then we need another tag "# really long".
Maybe we really do, since I can remember a number of tickets where tests were removed or changed from the most useful versions because even the "long" tests were running more than X seconds in the file (for a smallish value of X, not 3600 or something). Then at least one could run the really long tests before a stable release. But many of those really do have great value for users even if it is impractical to run them every time tests are run.
I hope that Nathann's SRGs will be tested once a year, just to be sure. And I definitely do not want to test them every time I run tests. (As I assume that there will be more to come.)
Maybe two years ago I ran some tests to Singular's multivariate polynomial factoring. IIRC sometimes it took 15 minutes to found a heisenbug. So yes, there might be a place for # really long.
