Hello! I'd love to be able to use Xcode Cloud, but I can't figure out how to make it fast enough.

For example a build (from clean) that takes 30s on my M1 MacBook Pro takes 120s on Xcode Cloud. I looked at the build timelines for both local builds and cloud builds, and there is no apparent bottleneck on the cloud build. It appears to be compiling 10 to 12 files in parallel just like my local machine, just 4x slower.

I'm on the free tier right now. Is it faster on the paid tiers?

Hey. We've been using the paid tier for 100 hours for a few months, and unfortunately, the build speed has not improved. It appears they are continuing to use Intel machines. I would suggest Bitrise if you want a performant but costlier option.
