The Windows and Linux smoke tests are looking for updates every 15 
minutes, and then running tests if anything has changed. The tests take 
about 5 minutes if changes had little impact. Boost.Test changes force 
recompiles of a lot of other libraries, so they take up to an hour.

See http://beta.boost.org/development/testing.html#SmokeTesting for 
links to the test results.
