Some additional info.

Before, 2h27 of cpu:
https://github.com/ovsrobot/dpdk/actions/runs/3265097067/usage

After, 2h07 of cpu:
https://github.com/ovsrobot/dpdk/actions/runs/3265960025/usage

The gain in cpu time (and global duration of the tests) is smaller
than what I saw.
Quite likely, it is dependent on what is being done on the runners.
