That seems quite reasonable and I wouldn't go any further than that for 
riscv until such time as there's dramatically better performing hardware 
with wide availability.   And no, the upcoming K3s don't meet my view of 
dramatically better.

My x86_64 tests run in 1-2hrs on skylake era systems.  riscv on the K1 
designs is nearly 30 hours.  At best I expect the K3  to cut that down 
to 15 hours.    The pioneer (c920 design) is just 7-8 hours, but it's 
been discontinued and they've been pretty flakey.
