We can parallelize its `@run` configs to improve effective parallelism for tier4. With both fastdebug and release configuration runs, it has been found that the final testcase in the sequential run configuration takes the most amount of time. Because of that to parallel configurations were tried out, one with all 5 test cases parallelized and second with 3 sections of parallel runs: 1st with first 2 tests, 2nd with the next 2 tests and 3rd with the last test case. Below are the results in fast debug:
