The unit tests in test_axialExpansionChanger.py are the slowest in ARMI. For instance, these three tests alone take 30 seconds to run:
test_axialExpansionChanger.py
TestInputHeightsConsideredHot::test_coldAssemblyExpansion
TestConservation::test_thermalExpansionContractionConservation_complex
TestManageCoreMesh::test_manageCoreMesh
Could we reduce the size of the detailed axial expansion test reactor? That is clearly the cause of the slowness:

Do we really need a full 9-ring reactor to test that assemblies expand thermally, in the axial direction?
