    3. Scale tests - Any remaining perf test jobs with excessive execution time? - Tibor - most jobs are under the limit (mackonstan, 15:06:44)
    4. Tibor - 2n-clx-mlr and 2n-skx-mlr weekly jobs take 35hrs and ~29hrs, respectively. Not a big issue as we have 3 and 4 testbed instances respectively. (mackonstan, 15:08:07)
