Thomas has previously proposed adding ccache:
https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2021-04/msg02189.html
This is an pretty much suggesting the same.
In jobs which are compile heavy the results can be pretty
spectacular. Many jobs get their execution time cut by as
much as 70%, a few even get over 80% saving.
The 'build-XXXX' and 'cross-XXXX' jobs are what benefit.
The 'check-XXXX' jobs won't benefit much as they're not compiling
stuff and likewise the 'container-xxxx' jobs.
Overall we get a 35% reduction in CI minutes consumed.
NB this does not directly correspond to the same wallclock time
reduction, since we're only improving the 'build' stage performance.
Given CI quota controls reducing CI minutes consumed is beneficial
even if wallclock time is unchanged.
When the cache is cold, however, there is some degradation of
performance. The biggest issue was/is the msys jobs, which
had to be mitigated through ccache tuning.
The breakdown in my test pipelines between totally empty
cache and (what ought to be) a 100% hit rate for cache:
