But I see a little one on it.

The test I've created uses some values that have been
calcuated by bc(1) with a precision of 1000 digits after the
decimal point. And it excessively uses LOG, POWER etc.

The SQL script plus the expected .out are about 500K. It
run's about 1 hour and 13 minutes on a 333 MHz PII system (no
disk activity during it - real CPU time).

I think it should be somewhat separate from the usual
regression because some older hardware would need days to
complete the entire suite.

What about adding a 'make longtest' to the regression and
printing a hint about it at the end of 'make runtest'? I see
we're short of time, so I'll do it this way now and maybe
later turn the wheel back.
