When I did "make ptestlong" (with MAKE="make -j12" and 12 cores), it says

   sage -t --long --warn-long 57.7 ...

for each line.  Where does that 57.7 come from?

I strongly agree with you that we should have an official policy
regarding the maximum long (and non-long) allowed doctests time, say
relative to something (whatever your answer to the above is).
However, let's make it more official than just "no point in having
tests run for minutes" (and have an official vote/discussion on
sage-devel.).
