Anyone else struggling with super slow CI builds lately?

Our CI pipeline has gotten ridiculously slow over the past few months. What used to be 5–10 minutes is now creeping toward 30+, and it’s blocking merges and killing our turnaround time. We’ve cleaned up configs, optimized a few modules, and even bumped our runners, but the performance bump didn’t last long.

Before we start rewriting half the build system, I figured I’d ask: is anyone using something that actually speeds up CI builds in a noticeable way?
