Maven properties argLine causes slow test startup on Windows:

<argLine>-Djava.security.egd=file:/dev/./urandom -Xmx1G</argLine>

This is due the -Djava.security.egd=file:/dev/./urandom as described here -> https://www.baeldung.com/java-security-egd#testing-the-effect-of-javasecurityegd

This affects tests that use directly SecureRandom or Mockito API or MockitoExtensions

Motivation for or Use Case
