[Insight-developers] Testing times

[Bill Hoffman]

There is some progress being made in the run time of tests for ITK.
Thanks to those that have helped.   However, I think we still have
a way to go before things are good.  It still takes 11 minutes to run
all of the tests.    Which is not bad, but the following few tests,
take up more than half of that time:

Can smaller data sets be used, with the same code coverage?
