Hi Hécate,

I have opened #21892 to track the issue of large testsuite tests. If you
are able, do leave some references on that ticket regarding which tests
were giving you trouble. I'm going to try to do some measurements on my
end as well, but it would be good to know that I am seeing similar
things to what you are seeing.
