No idea why you are babbling about nonsense like 60 minute verification times.  Might as well go full retard red herring and ask what happens if a 60 day or 60 year block happened.

The problem here is you have no idea where the grey area between reasonable and inordinate is, despite having the required knowledge spoon fed to you like a baby ("F2pool's ~1mb tx took 4 min on Electrum server, which would fall behind the network given ~2.5mb tx").

::sigh:: You sure are persistent in your preening pedantic posturing. And you _still_ have not answered the question, posed thrice. I'll even modify the time for you:

Riddle me this: built off a parent of the same block height, a miner is presented -- at roughly the same time:
1) an aberrant block that takes an inordinate amount of time (e.g.,  10 minutes) to verify but is otherwise valid;
2) a 'normal' valid block that does not take an inordinate amount of time to verify; and
3) an invalid block.
Which of these three do you suppose that miner will choose to build the next round atop in order to maximize profit?
