Subject: Speeding up image builds?
Date: Sun, 31 Aug 2025 02:55:31 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <d7bb87b0-f866-4e4b-80ff-c40698df8a87@gmail.com> (raw)

I often find myself waiting for image builds to run.
What are some steps I can take to make them faster?

Generally, I find that image builds are I/O bound (CPU usage
remains quite low), so one option would be to use a machine
with better I/O.  What is the best option for this?  Is this
something where thin provisioning (instead of thick
provisioning) causes a large performance penalty?  Or is the
only solution to throw hardware at the problem?  If the latter,
what would better hardware be?
