I want to _warn_ you before you put too much energy into it. Changing the `-Xcomp` timeout factor might have even bigger impact than my change. Also, I have no idea how well that flag is tested in open testing. That is, your change might look good for you --- but might cause havoc for companies doing more extensive testing. I have still not received green light for integrating my change, because extensive testing is still being run (and other teams are evaluating). I advise against changing the flag. When I evaluate the benefit for the default timeout, it was mainly not the timeout _in itself_ that was the problem, but the fact that most people have no idea that the timeout factor is applied and thus can not create or debug tests in a good way. I hope this helps you, and does not come out as too negative. I just feel that I have put too much energy into this, and I do not hope that struggle for you. ------------- PR Review Comment: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/26749#discussion_r2290422272
