This test works, but is taking way too long for the default
test suite.

I said in the cover I'd use ...:

@skipIf(os.getenv('CONTINUOUS_INTEGRATION'), 'Running on Travis-CI')

... to skip on Travis, but I'll change by declaring this test
'slow'. We could use 'tags=slowness:high' but then we need to
modify the 'check-acceptance' default rule to skip tests
matching the tag.

Willian, Cleber, any clever idea?
