Today the tests in CI use the screen size: 1280x1024x24
That is a 5:4 aspect ratio. I think it makes sense to use 16:9 instead. What about using 1280×720 to have a more common aspect ratio and fever pixels to make the CI a little bit faster?
The bigger screen we use, ffmpeg will take more CPU power.

This is related to many different tasks about XVFB, video and screen sizes but I think what we can do now is to say that we should do a 16:9 screen size for desktop. I propose 1280×720 and then adjust our tests for that to work. If we switch to --headless instead of XVFB we could increase it.
Assigning over for you for agreement in 16:9 and 1280×720. Let me know if you don't agree.
Moving back to Test Platform since I'm not working on it in Test Platform (Taormina Three 18).
I measured the difference. If we use ffmpeg and Xvfb a change to 1280×720 would make the tests ~6.8% faster and use something like 5.4% less CPU time. For headless there's a very little difference (below 1%).
