It's easy enough to do something like that.  You could just make
an additional "torture-test" target so you can do:

  bjam test

or

  bjam torture-test

or you could simply write in the Jamfile:

  if --torture in $(ARGV)
  {
     # more tests here
  }

and then:

  bjam --torture test

which would make bjam faster for the non-torture cases.
