playwright: [BUG] `playwright@1.19.2` is a lot slower for `content.tracing` with `snapshot: true`

Context:

Playwright Version: 1.19.2
Operating System: macOS
Node.js version: 14.x
Browser: Chromium
Extra: CI environment (Azure Pipelines)

Describe the bug

I just recently wanted to update to the 1.19.x release line for our tests in VSCode and now noticed how our smoke tests in web are almost 100% slower:

OLD

NEW

At first glance I could not find a single operation that would be slower, it seems like the entire run is slower, getting us closer to a 10 minute timeout we configured.

Starting an issue here to ask: has this been reported by others, how can we drill into this further?

I can only devote time in our debt week again, which is in early April. Will then get back here. Hopefully others can also chime in that see it.
