The self test is very intensive,
it may need 10 minutes as it tests with a huge german word list.
If it is to long for, just look for the first few seconds,
if no error occurs up till then, it shouldn't happen in the remaining minutes and
it should be O.K. to skip the remaining test.
(And to give you a feeling, a progress bar is shown)
