+          Project's default for air.test.parallel is 'methods'. By design, 'instances' runs all the methods in the same instance in the same thread,
+          but two methods on two different instances will be running in different threads.
+          As a side effect, it prevents TestNG from initializing multiple test instances upfront, which happens with 'methods'.
+          This reduces tests' memory footprint, which generally allows them to complete faster.
+          A potential downside can be long tail single-threaded execution of a single long test class.
+          TODO (https://github.com/trinodb/trino/issues/11294) remove when we upgrade to surefire with https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SUREFIRE-1967
