We recently found that Test-ExchangeSearch cmdlet was failing on our Exchange 2010 SP2 installation with error Time out for test thread.
Exception: The exception thrown is : System.InvalidOperationException: Custom counters file view is out of memory.

The problem is that by default in Exchange 2010 not more that 52 databases (any state Mounted/Unmounted) so that get listed available under MSExchange Search Indices Counter. To work around this issue you can add the following Dword value
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSExchange Search Indices\Performance
DWORD VALUE FileMappingSize
Decimal Value 1048576
We also created Msftefd.exe based on the Kb2837276 to resolve the issue.
Feel free to start a new thread on our forum to report a new issue or followup on this one
