Back of the envelope math, if anyone wants to correct my mental model: 2.1B (mincore)/week ~ 300M (mincore)/day. Assuming ~300k cores (~3k physical server CPUs, seems fine), that's 1k min/day. Seems about right, though obviously not uniformly distributed.
In any case, the number I'm focusing on here is the 300k cores part (x2 if you're counting in vcores). It does not seem like too much to ask for (significantly) more than that at github scale. It doesn't feel like a hardware issue, is what I'm getting at.
