# The Behat suite spawns a large number of short-lived `wp`/`php`
# processes and writes many files per scenario. On the Windows runner,
# Defender's real-time scanning inspects each of these, which slows the
# run down by several times compared to Linux. Turning it off for the
# duration of this ephemeral job cuts the wall-clock time dramatically.
