 If you look into the statistics (https://testresults.qt.io/grafana/d/

We can't integrate multiple changes to the same branch in parellel. So you 
can't start using more resources to speed things up. (9 women to have a child 
in 1 month) The only way to speed up CI integration is to be merging to 
different branches, that way we CAN have multiple integrations running in 
parallel.
