SwiftOtter-SOP-348 Enable Compiled Configuration Cache for Test execution

[lbajsarowicz]

Description (*)

The cache named compiled_config hosts all the di.xml compilation outcomes, including information about plugins, virtual classes etc.

With Magento 2.4.8 upgrade, the performance degradation of tests execution for multiple projects became significant. Mostly, due to the CPU usage.

Turning on compiled_config mitigates the issue, slightly improving the overall Integration Tests performance, without affecting areas such as Configured Object Manager.

Hi @lbajsarowicz. Thank you for your contribution!
Here are some useful tips on how you can test your changes using Magento test environment.
❗ Automated tests can be triggered manually with an appropriate comment:

• @magento run all tests - run or re-run all required tests against the PR changes
• @magento run <test-build(s)> - run or re-run specific test build(s)
  For example: @magento run Unit Tests

<test-build(s)> is a comma-separated list of build names.

Allowed build names are:

1. Database Compare
2. Functional Tests CE
3. Functional Tests EE
4. Functional Tests B2B
5. Integration Tests
6. Magento Health Index
7. Sample Data Tests CE
8. Sample Data Tests EE
9. Sample Data Tests B2B
10. Static Tests
11. Unit Tests
12. WebAPI Tests
13. Semantic Version Checker
