  * E810 flow "offload" tests - perf: work-in-progress - TBC
    (mackonstan, 15:05:55)
  * Scale tests - Any remaining perf test jobs with excessive execution
    time? - Tibor - most jobs are under the limit  (mackonstan,
    15:06:44)
  * 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)

    bring it down below the target of 24hrs.  (mackonstan, 15:09:22)

    <12hrs in duration  (mackonstan, 15:09:49)
  * E810 flow "offload" tests - perf: work-in-progress - Fan reporting -
    team has been discussing this, need to revise which of the
    functional tests make sense to port to performance tests
    (mackonstan, 15:13:35)
  * Fan, Maciek will follow up on this, and see what perf tests make
    sense. It is unclear if CSIT-2202 milestones times can be met, we

    breaks and shutdown.  (mackonstan, 15:14:44)
