Acceptance criteria

Suggestions

  • Bisect if recent changes in os-autoinst have made isotovideo execution slower
  • Fix problem (or bump timeout)
  • Ensure badge on repo is fine after merge

Without coverage the test takes locally 13 seconds to run and with it takes 146 so it is 11.2307692308 times slower with coverage. For the concrete check of isotovideo's runtime it is 1.50357818603516 s vs. 17.4516468048096 s so the factor is 11.606744 which is even worse than the overall. The test only scales the isotovideo timeout by a factor of 6 which seems a bit less. I'm changing that to 12. The uncaled timeout of 4 s seems reasonable so I'm keeping it as-is.

Bisect if recent changes in os-autoinst have made isotovideo execution slower

I've been going back within the history but didn't get different results. Likely isotovideo has not become slower. (I didn't get further than the introduction of CMake.)

Merged, thx. Your test against the old state in git history is convincing :)

Plans to improve further?

I don't know how to improve it further. Trying to fix the underlying problem of slow coverage analysis when forking is likely out of scope here.
