Even without `-Xcomp`, the test is already pretty slow, which increases dramatically with `-Xcomp`, since startup Java code has to be compiled 3 times, once for the main test process, and then 2 more times for forks.

Another option is to not forward the VM flags of the parent process to the forks, but, on the off chance that this is useful for testing some other flags, this PR chooses the approach of disabling the test when running with `-Xcomp` instead.
