That strikes me as almost certain to result in random regression test
failures.  My experience, as a man who helps to maintain a very large
suite of regression tests, is that all time-based assumptions about
how long it will take some operation to complete are false, and that
failures are a lot more frequent than you think they will be.

This feature doesn't strike me as a good candidate for regression
testing anyway.  Keep in mind that people are intended to be able to
run make installcheck against a deployed system without messing it up.
