Some CPU-heavy tests are marked with the
cpuresource and we don't run them on GitHub Actions because they're slow. This means we sometimes don't catchcpufailures until after they've been merged and run on the buildbots, which is a slow feedback cycle.But how slow are the
cputests?Here's a recent GHA run, without any
cpu(🔒 Datadog):The whole thing is around 31m, the slowest jobs are free-threading Windows arm64 (29.5m) and x64 (24.5m), with four others at 20-22m.
One of the fastest is the default
ubuntu-24.04-armat 9.5m.(The
ubuntu-24.04(x64) one is 13m.)If we add
cpuresources to just this job, it only takes an extra ~3 minutes (total around 12.5 mins), still ranking it among one of the fastest jobs on the CI:https://github.com/python/cpython/actions/runs/21947082050/job/63387452394?pr=144743
