This usually happens between tests when the previous test either
declares "breaks-testbed" or has more test dependencies than the next
test, or a similar time when it needs a fresh testbed.

You can run adt-virt-qemu with --show-boot to see where it hangs, and
then optimize there. Normally a VM should boot in < 5 seconds these
days, but if you customized this in some way there might be something
that blocks the boot?
