[issue14107] Debian bigmem buildbot hanging in test_bigmem

[STINNER Victor]

STINNER Victor <victor.stinner at gmail.com> added the comment:

I ran test_bigmem on my computer. The test pass but it is really slow.
----
$ ./python -m test -v -M 8G test_bigmem
(...
Ran 164 tests in 3228.227s

OK (skipped=44)
1 test OK.
----

One hour, whereas 44 tests are skipped. Skipped tests are the tests using the most quantity of memory, so I expect that they are even slower.

Do you need these tests using so much memory (and are really slow)?
