The current build.gnome.org is spinning disks, we have a newer machine
with SSDs that we're currently using for flatpak-related builds. Having
the build.gnome.org builds on SSD would almost certainly speed them up,
but my expectation is that it wouldn't fundamentally change things -
the guestfish overhead that I'm lookig at here is pretty much
independent of the drive type.
