7m = 420s - I'm seeing:

  hyperfine "./tests/venv/bin/avocado run 
./tests/acceptance/boot_linux.py:BootLinuxAarch64.test_virt_tcg"
  Benchmark #1: ./tests/venv/bin/avocado run 
./tests/acceptance/boot_linux.py:BootLinuxAarch64.test_virt_tcg
    Time (mean ± σ):     162.179 s ±  3.138 s    [User: 204.726 s, System: 
9.663 s]
    Range (min … max):   158.651 s … 170.036 s    10 runs

Is this on very slow hardware?
