You should find the answer in the manual.
You could disable it in the Device Manager

*manual*?! o_O
(Well, in fairness, there was a sheet of paper telling me how to insert
the battery and turn it on...)

I reran it and timed it. 4 minutes in total. (Interestingly, when you
rerun it, it actually *tells you* what it's doing! Mostly 3D tests...)

And if you change hardware, it runs it at the next reboot, in console mode.
I have to believe it drives the programmers of these things nuts to have so
many different environments to write this code in. :-)
There's also screensavers or some such that run the tests.
