With Windows 11 due to be released on Tuesday, Oct 5, I have created a PR against the buildmaster-config repository adding a build worker just for this.

It's brand new dedicated hardware capable of running 40 parallel tests taking ~ 2 min 30 sec.

Test time is now limited by process creation time:

0:02:33 load avg: 2.14 [427/427/1] test_multiprocessing_spawn passed (2 min 17 sec)

Total duration: 2 min 33 sec

Note that the failed test is test_winconsoleio. I'm assuming something changed in this release of Windows meaning getting this worker going will help track that down :)

Once the PR is merged, the worker is ready to go, I just need to start the service (the build master will use my existing password).
