    The  JDBC Datasource step's that appeared to fail had rather lazy SELECT * from table with a bunch of joins along the way. The end result was a large number of Properties that were actually not used in the test. I cleaned up the SQL and reduced the number of Properties down to only those used in the test.

     

    Its a workaround, but it seems to have resolved the problem!

     

    A test execution that was taking 40 minutes or so to run before, runs in 8 minutes now 🙂
