 Good question, I can only talk about the command line interface:

 Of course there's `time ./sage -t --long src/sage/interfaces/` (probably
 with `-p`; one can also set `SAGE_TEST_ITER` and `SAGE_TEST_GLOBAL_ITER`).
 Only testing the interfaces that actually use pexpect (and where the
 external program is really installed) makes more sense.

 Tests that make heavy use of (stand-alone) Maxima/`ecl`, Singular, `gap`
 and `gp` are meaningful as well.  I cannot really list them right now, but
 `src/sage/schemes/elliptic_curves/` and especially
 `src/sage/sandpiles/sandpile.py` are known to fall into that category
 IIRC.

 Before testing, it IMHO makes sense to remove or rename
 `$DOT_SAGE/timings*.json`, otherwise doctests will get reordered with
 undesirable impact on the resource usage, influencing the measured
 timings.
