Description

The "py37-windows-64" action takes ~40 min (compare to "py38-ubuntu" at ~21 min), thus being the bottleneck in PRs. Can something be done to reduce its execution time?

Research direction

Start by locating the CI configuration for the "py37-windows-64" and "py38-ubuntu" actions, then compare their logs and execution stages to identify the source of the runtime difference. Done means the Windows action completes substantially faster without losing the test coverage expected from the suite.
