Hi @jetersen,
Thanks for the issue.
We will discuss this issue and the speed expectancies from the scripts internally with our PM and get back to you.

Hi, @bekir-ozturk 👋 Are there any updates on this issue?

Hi @IvanZosimov ,

No updates here, development hasn't been undergoing.
I will inform you if we start working on it.

There's been a lot of internal investigations, and we're in contact with the github actions teams about runner-configurations that might make particular aspects of our scripts faster. Those teams have action items and in any case there's nothing actionable on our end here (i.e. we're not going to change to a non-build-in zip tool that would add a prerequisite to all users of the scripts, etc.). As a result, I'm going to close this.
