Hi I wonder about long set up of build environment. Sometimes it goes very quickly, but sometimes it’s extremely slow eg. Most of the tasks in this build require 3-4 of setup (due to pooling docker containers) [https://circleci.com/gh/igorwojda/android-showcase/89](https://circleci.com/gh/igorwojda/android-showcase/89) Is it just circleCi thing? can we actually do something about it? ---

Do you mean the length of time for getting an executor? It’s two seconds in the case you have provided, which seems pretty fast to me. ---
