Tests take too long to run
The full test suite currently takes > 10 mins to run, mainly because of the tests for the SMC algorithms. We should aim to bring this down under two minutes.
I general I don't like the "test by example" approach that we've been taking so far. Unless we're testing against examples for which we have theoretical results on convergence, tests are doing a lot of work for little added value. Integration tests don't require taking a thousand samples.
I am simplifying the tests in #279; SMC is where the test suite currently spend the largest amount of time.
