As I mentioned in our off-list discussion, I have a lingering feeling
that this v14 commit could be affecting the results somehow:

Update the Winsock API version requested by libpq.
According to Microsoft's documentation, 2.2 has been the current
version since Windows 98 or so. Moreover, that's what the Postgres
backend has been requesting since 2004 (cf commit 4cdf51e64).
So there seems no reason for libpq to keep asking for 1.1.
I didn't believe at the time that that'd have any noticeable effect,
but maybe it somehow made Winsock play a bit nicer with the GSS
support?
Yes, probably, but may be not nicer, as the test duration increased?
Still I can't see the difference locally to check that commit.
Will try other VMs/configurations, maybe I could find a missing factor...
Best regards,
