That did the trick, thanks:

$ time ./run_tests.py --integ --tor ../tor-0.2.3.25/src/or/tor
...
Shutting down tor... done
21 TESTS WERE SKIPPED
ALL OTHER TESTS PASSED (34 seconds)
real    0m34.456s

Why do the tests take so long to run? I noticed that most of the time
almost no CPU is used and hardly any network is used. Could the
individual tests be somehow run in parallel to speed things up? I
noticed a few time.sleep() calls in the .py files :-(
