Fedora Rawhide tests take 10/20% longer then Fedora 35/36
Our Cockpit tests timeout on Fedora Rawhide while 36 succeeds. We can of course increase our timeouts but it would be interesting to know why it's slower.
An example of cockpit-podman
shows the significant difference

I've heard that rawhide has a debug kernel which might explain the performance difference. A non debug kernel can apparently be installed on rawhide, but that is outside of the control of cockpit.
