Description

While working on the 9.1 release, we noticed the smoke tester sometimes taking several hours. It looks like some tests can take a really long time, especially when a higher "tests.multiplier" is used (than the default of 1):

The slowest tests (exceeding 500 ms) during this run:
  3298.44s TestDoubleRangeFieldQueries.testRandomBig (:lucene:core)
  2869.82s Test2BPostings.test (:lucene:core)
  1951.74s TestLatLonDocValuesQueries.testRandomBig (:lucene:core)
  1628.04s TestLatLonPointQueries.testRandomBig (:lucene:core)
  1492.32s TestGeo3DPoint.testRandomBig (:lucene:spatial3d)
  1481.19s TestXYDocValuesQueries.testRandomBig (:lucene:core)
  1351.95s TestXYPointQueries.testRandomBig (:lucene:core)
  940.30s TestLongRangeFieldQueries.testRandomBig (:lucene:core)
  871.50s Test4GBStoredFields.test (:lucene:core)
  743.00s TestFloatRangeFieldQueries.testRandomBig (:lucene:core)

The main offender looks like BaseSpatialTestCase#testRandomBig, we should look into making this run faster.

Maybe relates to LUCENE-8643?
