I'm fixing the tests for Cantor now which started to fail after I pushe= d a
change to master that is not related to the failing tests now. The tests ar= e

Likely it relates to the load on the underlying = CI worker node at the time the job is being run. There is no guarantee you&= #39;re the only job running at the time as Linux or Windows could be runnin= g jobs (or they both could be) and if they're both running that will de= finitely impair FreeBSD performance. For most unit tests they're not lo= ad/performance sensitive so this isn't an issue.

All of the mainline Linux/FreeBSD/Windows/Android jobs provided by Sysad= min run on=C2=A0AMD Ryzen 7 7700 machines, with NVMe storage and plenty of = RAM (the host machines have either 64GB or 128GB depending on the physical = node, although the FreeBSD nodes only have 16GB allocated to them) so there= is certainly no hardware limitations or age issues here.
