It also occured to me that we then could diffoscope with a (way) lower timeout,
eg 60min instead of 155min, because hardly never diffoscope runs longer than
30min, and if it does, it usually runs 155min until it gets killed.

I'm not sure we're collecting data on this, so far this is just an educated guess. :)

Stop saying that we are all in the same boat.
We’re all in the same storm. But we’re not all in the same boat.
