If this is news to you, I have a feeling you're in a minority. :-)
'make check' has never taken more than 40 mins for me, ever, in the
7-year history of the project. In the early days, I had to choose
urandom myself, but for the last N years, they've been chosen for me
by default as I settled into various mac and linux boxes. I had
completely forgotten about the issue, in fact. 'make check' usually
takes 20 mins for me.
Extra bonus tip: try running 'make check PARALLEL=1". It goes from
20 mins to 10.
