would a larger time out be neccessary?

if i look at ''object'' (one of the 0.01 seconds tests) the slowest 
iml;ementations are at 30 seconds. if this is a linear test then 5x 
increase would give 150 seconds. and since the slowest time i have seen 
was >450 seconds they would not time out.

this reasoning based upon the assumption that max time out is the same 
for all tests, and that ''object'' is linear.
