Could it be pulling the ''macos-runner:sonoma' image on every run? I
cross-compared and for every new version of the
'macos-sonoma-base:latest' image [1]; scheduling takes ~4 minutes [2].
Then, it takes a couple of seconds [2] for the consecutive runs until
a new version of the image is released. Also, from their manifest; the
uncompressed size of the runner image is 5x of the sonoma-base image
[3]. This is very close to scheduling time differences between
'macos-runner:sonoma' and 'newly pulled macos-sonoma-base:latest'
(22mins / 4 mins).
