FWIW, I only measured this for linux, not for windows. On linux it was easy to
do

+          vmstat -y -n -w 1 > vmstat.log &
+
+          meson test ${{env.MTEST_ARGS}} --num-processes ${{env.TEST_JOBS}} --no-suite setup ${{env.MTEST_TARGET}}
+
+          killall iostat vmstat || true
+
+      - name: Upload stats
+        uses: actions/upload-artifact@v7
+        with:
+          path: |
+            iostat.log
+            vmstat.log

Which showed that there is very little idle CPU other than during first few
seconds and at the end.

I don't know how to do that on windows...  I'm sure one can do it, with ETW or
such, but...
