[New-bugs-announce] [issue37707] Skip individual unit tests that are expensive for the PGO task

[Neil Schemenauer]

New submission from Neil Schemenauer <nas-python at arctrix.com>:

Add a new support decorator, @skip_if_pgo_task and then use it to mark test cases.  I suspect the PGO task works well if it can exercise common code paths.  Running long tests likely have rapidly diminishing benefits.  The instrumented PGO executable runs quite a bit slower than a normal build and so it is useful to spend a bit of time to exclude expensive tests.
