Comment(by dmichelsen):

 Taking out `r.ru_stime.tv_sec` from `tests/harness/cputimer.cc`
 unfortunately does not work reliably. I had two failures in about 50 runs:
 {{{
 Running tests with backend "brass"...
 Running test: bigoaddvalue1... FAILED
 Test with 5000 repetitions took 0.02 secs
 Test with 50000 repetitions took 1.02 secs
 ...
 Running tests with backend "brass"...
 Running test: bigoaddvalue1... FAILED
 Test with 5000 repetitions took 0.02 secs
 Test with 50000 repetitions took 0.95 secs
 }}}
 Unfortunately I were unable to track down the error, after enabling more
 system statistics it didn't happen again (yet).

 As I now know it can fail sporadically I would like to temporarily disable
 this specific test during check, is there some variable I can set to skip
 specific tests?
