Since we're entering the freeze period this week, I'm going to pick up this 
patch for my next pull request in the hope that it will help to get this job 
green again during the freeze period. But in the long run, it would be 
really good if someone familiar with the bios-tables-test could analyze why 
the run time increased so much in recent times for this test and provide a 
better fix for the problem.

  Thanks,
