This test traverses the QOM sub-tree rooted at /machine with a combination of qom-list and qom-get. In my x86_64 testing, it runs almost 12000 QMP commands in 34 seconds. With -m slow, we test more machines, and it takes almost 84000 commands in almost four minutes.
Since commit 3dd93992ffb (tests/qtest/qom-test: unit test for qom-list-get), the test traverses this tree a second time, with qom-list-get. In my x86_64 testing, this takes some 200 QMP commands and around two seconds, and some 1100 in just under 12s with -m slow. Traversing the entire tree is useful, because it exercise the QOM property getters. Traversing it twice not so much. Make the qom-list / qom-get test shallow unless -m slow is given: don't recurse. Cuts the number of commands to around 600, and run time to under 5s for me.
