From my experience the main problem with long running test suites is that team starts to simply ignore them. When you have to wait one hour between commit and deploy usually you switch your context and switching it forth and back could lead to lose of productivity. I think that the minimum acceptable time for running the full and complete test suite falls between 15-20 minutes. If the test suite is running for a longer time - it could be sign of a problem.
