That's awfully long for  a test, don't you think ? But you can increase 
the dart testing time out using the variable. The default is 1500 s.
See    DART_TESTING_TIMEOUT in your CMakeCache.txt variable.

On Linux (probably cygwin too),
  'time foo'
will summarize the time the foo took to run

Or you could use the itk::TimeProbe to print the time yourself. See 
http://public.kitware.com/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/Testing/Code/Numerics/Statistics/itkMersenneTwisterRandomVariateGeneratorTest.cxx?annotate=1.9&root=Insight
for an example.
