Tests run slower when upgrading from Cypress version 6.9.0 to 8.2.0

See original GitHub issue

Current behavior

Tests take 17+ minutes when we upgraded to v8.2.0, they took 7 minutes with version 6.9.0 when I use Cypress run. This happens when running on CI, with Electron 89 (headless)

Desired behavior

Tests should run equally fast with all Cypress versions.

Test code to reproduce

I can’t share the code, but it’s a react app with 310 tests so far 😅

Cypress Version

8.2.0

Other

I’ve tried setting videoCompression to 0 to reduce compression quality, and also I’ve tried disabling video recording altogether, both didn’t work and tests are still slow.

I upgraded from 6.** to 9.4.0 that slowed down my e2e by 70%ish 😦

I’ve upgraded from 8.0 to 8.5.0, and the execution time for all the tests increased for 1.5. From 8 to 12 minutes.
