The machines in question are relatively beefy but there is hardware 
visualization in the picture that may be an issue.

Chris - another thing that is worth checking is whether any previous 
tests are leaving looping threads. These tests are running sequentially 
in the same VM and we have had cases in the past where a test creates a 
daemon thread that heads off into the weeds, leading to slow down in 
subsequent tests. I tracked down a few of these last year and don't 
think we have any now but worth re-checking.

In any case, the test change looks fine to me too.
