Hi,

Meson's test runner has the concept of a "timeout multiplier" for ways of
running tests. Meson's stuff is about entire tests (i.e. one tap test), so
doesn't apply here, but I wonder if we shouldn't do something similar?  That
way we could adjust different timeouts with one setting, instead of many
different fobs to adjust?

Greetings,
