8 minutes sounds too fast.

FWIW, runtest on my machine, with Ada unsupported in my GCC, took 18
minutes on 20090616:

                === gdb Summary ===
# of expected passes            13248
# of unexpected failures        109
# of expected failures          42
# of known failures             114
# of unresolved testcases       3
# of untested testcases         10
# of unsupported tests          62

and took 17 minutes just now:

		=== gdb Summary ===
# of expected passes		13359
# of unexpected failures	103
# of expected failures		43
# of known failures		116
# of unresolved testcases	1
# of untested testcases		11
# of unsupported tests		63


Also, most of the slowdowns I observed come from tests failing with a
timeout, not from breakage of the test suite itself.
