Sounds good.

But even with the current (or past, it may have changed already) behaviour of 
tight limits
for CRAN testing, you can put in code in your package that allows for longer 
tests in
certain conditions. You'll run them, and if you advertise them, others will run 
them too.

For me this applies to certain vignettes. Thanks to a pointer from K Hansen, I'm told I can handle this by putting the long one in inst/doc and the short ones in vignettes.
I'll be trying this out soon.
