[New-bugs-announce] [issue30498] Run Python's slowest tests in the first 3/4 of tests when using -r

[Brett Cannon]

New submission from Brett Cannon:

If we guaranteed that the slowest tests in the test suite started early enough in the test run to complete before the final test finished, we could shave off several minutes worth of time in cases where the slowest tests are the hold-up. So perhaps if we randomly inserted the 10 slowest tests in the first 3/4 of the complete test list we could make sure they finish early enough?
