   I also see this locally on valgrind.

   I think the general idea is that we can't measure wall clock time and assume some operation is faster than a specified wall clock duration (60 seconds in this case).

   Not sure what to do here, other than removing this check?

   I agree. We can't do without timeouts, but have a way to scale the timeouts for extremely slow condition (timeout_factor), so we should try to reduce instances that circumvent this. They also seem unrelated to what is being tested, so I opened #28386 to remove them.
