This test runs the jar command at least 50 times and I/O tends to be 
slower on Windows. Lance can use the test infrastructure to run it many 
times and gather timings from a range of Windows hosts to get an idea on 
how long it takes. I can well believe that it's close to the timeout on 
some systems so increasing the timeout should help. As regards gathering 
stats then it is a TestNG test with ~25 tests so we could use 
@Before/@AfterMethod to get data if needed. It will clutter the output 
but okay although trying to see what the timeout this test needs.
