Don't worry too much about those two particular tests failing ("pt2pt/large_messages" and "perf/transp-datatype").  The former sends very large messages, larger than 2GiB, and can easily run past the default timeout on some platforms depending numerous aspects of the platform.  The latter test compares hand-coded data movement operations to MPI_Datatype-based data movement and is sensitive to a noisy system and certain compiler optimizations.

Thanks for letting us know.
