The perf=slow nodes (conway00-05) run at 1.5 GHz versus 2.4 GHz on the perf=fast ones (conway06-10). Once the 4Gi request let heavy pods fit on the 8 GB nodes, the scheduler started placing both Gradle pods of a build there despite the preferred perf=fast affinity, and the larger test suite then ran past the 30-minute build limit.

Make perf=fast a required node affinity for heavy (Gradle/kaniko) pods; light pods keep the soft preference. With the existing one-heavy-pod-per- node anti-affinity this allows up to five heavy pods at once and queues the rest.
