These look like units rather than counts. Better to just use the words
"tens or hundreds".

"This test" is repeated a couple of times. Some rearranging can reduce
that redundancy. See below.

Suggestion:
<para>&os; 10.1 and earlier tests memory early in the boot process.
When the system has a small amount of memory, the test takes a few
seconds. Computers with tens or hundreds of gigabytes of memory can
take several minutes to complete the test. The memory test can be
disabled by adding <literal>hw.memtest.tests=0</literal> to
<filename>/boot/loader.conf</filename>.</para>
