Real time for second run. By second I mean the following:
Start maxima, run run_testsuite();, quit maxima.
This is first run.  You can repeat this procedure
several times. These are second, third and subsequent runs.
The point is that timing of run_testsuite in first run
is always a bit longer than in second, third etc.
