Yes, the tests take a while to run.

Define "very long".

There are several things related:
a) CGI is slow, because it has to load python and all modules on every 
request
b) The first time you do some stuff needing the pagelink cache, it will 
be completely rebuilt. Once it is rebuilt, it will be faster with that 
stuff.
c) Same stuff for some other caches.

Remove or edit the index.html there.

You can do that yourself, read MoinMoin:EditingOnMoinMaster. :)
