I didn't think this was a suggestion for the official build koji, was it? The point is that it is very hard to meaningfully troubleshoot a process that takes 3 days to fail on a 1.2GHz ARM, and then has to be re-started from scratch. The incremental progress becomes too painfully slow. But if we can get that 3 day process into a 3 hour process (e.g. I've only got about 4GHz worth of ARM cores, but about 40GHz worth of x86-64 cores), then the problem is at least transitioned from the realm of unworkable into the realm of slow. Once you know it builds and works, waiting for 3+ days so bad because at least you know something usable will come out of it.
