I disagree: we have keep the tests reasonable for all
environments.  Do you really generally want to test less in the
native environment than can be reasonable in the cross
environment?

It's _not slow_ it's one of the fastest.  It's just not as fast
as native.  (The existence of a slow_simulator board variable is
a red herring.)

Perhaps the number of iterations could be changed to 10 all
over, unless manually compiled with -DITERATIONS=N, something
like this:

+// To test performance compile with -DITERATIONS=10000 and use "time".
+#ifndef ITERATIONS
+#define ITERATIONS 10
+#endif
+
 // The number of iterations to be performed.
-int iterations = 10000;
+int iterations = ITERATIONS;

Does that suit libstdc++ers?
