At least one bug, https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1807219, has been identified through this. I would encourage people debugging these slow tests to look to see if this exposes a deficiency in our software that can be fixed.

Unfortunately I haven't had much time to help dig into those recently (see broader issues above), but I think it would be helpful if projects can do some of that digging themselves.

FYI for interested people, we are working on some nova-specific problems 
in the following patches/series:

Thanks for the excellent write-up. It's a nice window into what's going 
on in the gate, the work the infra team is doing, and letting us know 
how we can help.

Best,
