That's still 1/4 better than before. I'd say that's a good improvement all on its own. As for the patch, Its not the easiest to review. The test artefacts section is new, and is just moving various jobs forwards in the file. I suspect that if you split the patch into two, first forming the test artefacts section, and second rearranging the existing x86 tests, the result might be readable (or at least, more readable). The key (I think) will be to keep the # Jobs below this line, and following archlinux tests unmodified in patch 1, at which point the diff ought to render as one block insertion, then scattered deletions. I suspect the second patch is going to be a mess however you try to rearrange it, so I wouldn't worry too much if this approach doesn't work. ~Andrew
