It's very variable. The run I did to test it
(https://gitlab.com/bonzini/qemu/-/jobs/6773108916) took 80 minutes,
but it seemed to be a slow one. Yesterday afternoon I had a run that
took 80 minutes and failed the build (so it didn't run "make check" at
all).

There are just a dozen qtests that run, the useful part is checking
that you can run qtests at all under Windows.
