A few of these tests can take a long time on older macos-x64 hardware, esp. those with HT enabled as jtreg -concurrency gets computed to a high value. Some of these tests have spinning threads and end up competing with other tests. This directory used to have a TEST.properties with  exclusive.dirs=. to prevent these tests running concurrently with each other but we decided to remove it when the number of tests increased (at one point, tests were waiting several minutes to execute because they couldn't run concurrently with other tests in the directory).
