A lot of CI compute time is saved.  The Cirrus account[1] was
previously hitting the 4 job limit all day long, and now it's often
running 1 or 2 jobs when I look, and it has space capacity to start a
new job immediately if someone posts a new patch.  I'll monitor it
over the next few days but it looks great.
