Yeah, it's a freebsd running on rpi4, from a USB flash disk, and in my
experience it's much slower than rpi4 running Linux. I'm not sure why is
that, never found a way to make it faster
The machine already has:
export PGCTLTIMEOUT=600
export PG_TEST_TIMEOUT_DEFAULT=600
I doubt increasing it further will do the trick. Maybe there's some
other timeout that I should increase?
FWIW I just moved the buildfarm stuff to a proper SSD disk (still USB,
but hopefully better than the crappy flash disk).
