That's a nice idea. Meson has '-t' that is a multiplier for test timeouts and it's quite useful. I guess we could add something like this in systemd (with the usual trifecta of a config file setting, and commandline and kernel commandline options). Another option is for things that have hard-to-predict timeout needs to extend the timeout dynamically using sd_notify with EXTEND_TIMEOUT_USEC=…. [1] It's a bit more work for the service, but is a much more flexible solution.
