magnum,
I think our use of john-dev should currently be for higher-level
discussions that don't fit GitHub issues well, like some of the stuff we
label "RFC / discussion" in there now, and especially stuff that we end
up not bringing up in there at all.
OTOH, I am also thinking of creating a dummy GitHub account that would
watch "john" and have its e-mail directed to an archived mailing list.
If I direct it to john-dev, then we'll have all development "noise" in
here again.

I think you overlook two things:
1. That build on CircleCI is with ASan, yours probably is not. ASan can
slow things down a lot.
2. AVX-512 probably slows the tests down by a factor of 2 to 3 compared
to your AVX2 (2x for having twice larger *_keys_per_crypt, and some more
for lower clock rate).
Nevertheless, I agree that CircleCI is probably overloaded.
I've just pushed this maybe-workaround:
CircleCI fast-formats-omp: use OMP_NUM_THREADS=1, not 2
https://github.com/openwall/john/commit/05e5a363f42904a5f4739e4ad50e046ca20c9f08
On an otherwise idle system this shouldn't make much of a difference,
but on an overloaded one it might.
