Oh, wow! This commit drastically improved testing time on Windows. It
was Windows tests that were always behind in my github repo's CI, now
I can see it got much faster. Thanks for working on this.

Windows tests were taking around 27min
(https://cirrus-ci.com/build/6060448332644352) before the patch, but
it came down to 13min (https://cirrus-ci.com/build/6528980879147008)
after the patch - Yay! 2X improvement :).
