On the slow x86 Gentoo Non-Debug with X 3.9 buildbot, test_peg_generator timed out after 25 min, twice.

https://buildbot.python.org/all/#/builders/51/builds/24

Either, we increase the buildbot timeouts, test_peg_parser is made faster, or the test is splitted into multiple test files.

This buildbot worker is slow, so it sounds like a good idea to increase timeouts.

These tests are expensive because they have to compile one C extension per test but I don't see any way to make them faster than does not complicate the whole setup considerably.

I have tried to compile a shared object containing the common parts but it just saves 35% of the time and is a bit of a mess to keep that state around.

Making the timeout bigger can be a possibility, certainly, but this also means the builder will get stuck more time in race conditions or deadlocks :(

Race conditions and deadlocks are less likely than false alarms of builds failed because the timeout is too short.

So far, I'm only aware of this specific buildbot worker which is too slow for "(timeout: 25 min, worker timeout: 30 min)". So just increase the timeout to 40 min, no?
