Description
Hi,
I choose "--dist loadgroup" as my distribution strategy and I set 2 groups by @pytest.mark.xdist_group("group1"), and it do works at the beginning.
However, I can not control the time consumption of 2 groups， when the cases in gw0 finished(cases in gw1 is still running), I found that gw0 will run cases in gw1, which will broken my run!
So, do we have any way to prevent it, which means, when cases in gw0 finished, let it finished, and make it do not disturb my cases in gw1

Research direction
Start by reading the --dist loadgroup distribution strategy and the @pytest.mark.xdist_group("group1") behavior described in the issue. Reproduce a run where gw0 finishes before gw1, then inspect how remaining cases are assigned. Done means defining and testing a way for completed groups or workers not to interfere with groups still running.
