Some of these tests throw exceptions probabilistically, thus the 
iteration count.

However, I agree for simulator targets this should be set much lower 
than it is today.

This is ok, but please check into both gcc and gcc-4_2-branch.

I would like to see this approach done consistently for the pb_ds 
regression tests that are timing out for you. Do you have a list of them 
that you plan to modify along the lines detailed in this patch?

Perhaps you should just do them all at the same time...
