Bug Description

performance tests from projectroot and buildfarm_perf_test are failing and sending a SIGINT

Expected Behavior

The tests to pass without errors

How to Reproduce

1. go to https://build.ros2.org/job/Jci__nightly-performance_ubuntu_noble_amd64/ or https://build.ros2.org/job/Hci__nightly-performance_ubuntu_jammy_amd64 builds
2. build the job
3. See test failing
