I see. On my check server for ucrt3, 1.7-2 also took ~13 minutes to 
check, so I assume this is reproducible and you should be able to debug 
it elsewhere if you arrange to get some timings. Or maybe you could 
deduce something from my timestamps:

May 11 04:12 00_pkg_src
May 11 04:16 oce
May 11 04:16 00install.out
May 11 04:20 oce-Ex.R
May 11 04:21 oce-Ex.Rout
May 11 04:21 oce-Ex.pdf
May 11 04:21 tests
May 11 04:25 oce-manual.pdf
May 11 04:25 Rdlatex.log
May 11 04:25 oce-manual.log
May 11 04:25 00check.log

and for tests:

May 11 04:21 testthat.R
May 11 04:21 startup.Rs
May 11 04:23 testthat
May 11 04:23 testthat.Rout

Sorry, I read the log incorrectly, that was for 1.7-2.
