A clean build of my project on my machine takes about 30 seconds. On my circle ci container it takes nearly 3.5 minutes.

Anyone have any idea how to speed that up?

Right now builds run with 2 cores and 4 GB of RAM. Your machine likely has much higher resources.

In CircleCI 2.0 you will be able to pay for additional resources which would be the only way to speed this up.
