Gulp.  OK, you've got me curious:  how many people habitually frame
their unit tests with resource constraints?  I think I take testing
seriously, and certainly also am involved with resource limits often,
but I confess I've never aimed to write all my tests in terms of
bounds on time (and presumably memory and ...).  You've got me
thinking, Tim.
