While we were originally only executing around 23000 tests, we're now at 30000 tests. Naturally, this has a significant impact on the runtime of such a test run. Naturally, this impact can also be felt for our leak-checking CI jobs. While macOS used to be the slowest-executing job on GitLab CI with ~15 minutes of runtime, nowadays it is our leak checks which take around 45 to 55 minutes. Our Linux runners for GitLab CI are untagged, which means that they default to the "small" machine type with two CPU cores [1]. Upgrade these to the "medium" runner, which provide four CPU cores and which should thus provide a noticeable speedup. In theory, we could upgrade to an ever larger machine than that. The official mirror [2] has an Ultimate license, so we could get up to 128 cores. But anybody running a fork of the Git project without such a license wouldn't be able to use those beefier machines and thus their pipelines would fail.
