But back to the original question.
Checking for these variables is not at all a general solution;
If I use 'R CMD check --timings' I want to time my tests and
actually I find this so reasonable that I've made it the default
for me.
I strongly believe we should follow the thread Henrik has
started and Dirk and I had followed up.
The issue is not just about "CRAN" vs "off CRAN".
It is good to think about a more general scheme of
"light testing" vs "normal testing" vs "extensive testing",
e.g., for the situation where the package implements
(simulation/bootstrap/ ..) based inference, and the developer
(but not only) should be able to run the extensive tests.
