Curious what you might consider a long software build time? My vnlib projects are starting to creep up on 4-5 minutes on an 8 core vm. Incremental stuff during development is nearly instant so it doesn't matter, but a full publish be hammering my hardware.
Just running all vnlib builds and testing at one time can keep a 64 core machine very busy. If I wasn't running my own hardware I don't think I could afford to run a cloud build server, albeit with slightly newer hardware. Builds would probably take all day on a 2-4 vcore cloud vm.
I've never used GH actions, but do you have to pay for CPU time?
