Super basic tip, in case you didn't notice already, Linaro's experience is that running LLDB testing on a shared machine is a bad idea. For AArch64 we run on a dedicated machine and that has worked well. It's not very large, it's just free of distractions.

For Arm we are on a shared server with much more resource than we need for LLDB, but we can't always get it because of other workers. So we set a parallelism limit way below the actual core count so that lit doesn't over estimate what it can run.

This leaves us with the actually flakey tests that ideally we'd find proper fixes for as Jonas said.
