What about any object that does a TestSuite(foo).run()? This guarantees that it pickles (assuming it is not skipping that test) and is an object that someone would create. Usually when those are marked as "# long time", it is the tests that take a long time (say, iterated over 1000 objects) rather than creation and (un)pickling.
