Description

Some of the staging/sm tests take a long time to run. For this reason the whole folder is currently omitted from test262.fyi. We should find a way to either mark particular tests as slow so that consumers can skip them if necessary, or make them less slow.

See also #3328, #1231.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the staging/sm tests and how test262.fyi currently omits the folder. Read related issues #3328 and #1231 for prior context and constraints. Done means particular slow tests can be skipped by consumers, or the relevant tests no longer require exclusion because their runtime is reduced.
