Research direction

Locate the dbcrash extended test and run it to establish its current runtime. Add timing information to identify the slow portions, then improve the test so it runs faster; compare its runtime with the upstream version, which is reported to take about 45 minutes on the reporter's laptop.

Description

re #1298

the number of iterations in the dbcrash test have been reduced but it still takes 6 hours to run.

add some timing information to the test in order to establish what is taking so long, and improve the test to run faster.

for reference: the upstream version of this test takes about 45 mins on my laptop
