Ivan - do you have a sponsor for this one? It would be good to get this 
out of the way before ZBB.

On the default timeout in the test then I'd prefer it to be something 
like 20s or 30s rather than 2 minutes. The reason is that we don't 
currently have any distinction between stress tests and other types of 
tests and so people tend to just run all the tests for an area (hence 2 
minutes is a long time as we need the tests to execute as quickly as 
possible).
