We're currently using M1-based runners for our macOS jobs. GitLab has
since introduced a new M2 Pro-based runner type that is available for
all GitLab tiers [1], which upgrades from 4 to 6 cores and from 8 to 16
GB RAM.
Upgrade to this new runner type, which results in some nice speedups:
- osx-clang goes from 26 minutes to 16 minutes.
- osx-meson goes from 19 minutes to 13 minutes.
- osx-reftable goes from 23 minutes to 14 mintues.
