> Python-xdist added a "worksteal" distribution mode that can rebalance work
> between the threads when a thread goes idle. This is mainly useful towards
> the end of a parallel test run to reduce skew. On exhaustive end-to-end
> parallel tests, the last 2% of tests take hours:
> {noformat}
> 02:26:10
> ..............................xxx....................................... [
> 98%]
> 03:38:48
> ........................................................................ [
> 98%]
> 04:42:39
> ........................................................................ [
> 99%]
> 05:08:04
> ........................................................................ [
> 99%]
> 05:08:21 ....ss
> [100%]{noformat}
> Looking at the report log, there is massive skew. At the end, a single worker
> is working alone on its remaining tests while other workers are idle. Work
> stealing would make a big difference here.
