pkgxdev/dev@latest github action takes between 1 to 7 minutes to run

[iyefrat]

Hey, recently pkgxdev/dev@latest has started taking 1-7 minutes to run, where it used to take about 20s. I'm not sure when exactly this started happening.

The following is the project pkgx.yaml:

dependencies:
  cli.github.com: 2.56.0
  cuelang.org: 0.11.1
  git-lfs.com: 3.5.1
  git-scm.org: 2.46.0
  nodejs.org: 22.12.0
  pnpm.io: 9.14.2
  moonrepo.dev/moon: 1.30.3
  google.com/gcloud: 504.0.1
  pulumi.io: 3.142.0

The part that seems to take a very long time is the initialization of installing pre-requisites, see the following snippet from a run, there is a 3 minute gap between timestamps:

Although this is the main timesink, the timestamp of the log of the actual dependency installation from later on indicates that this takes 30s, while it used to take about 10:

This happened between v0 and v1:

• Run pkgxdev/dev@v0 10s[1]
• Run pkgxdev/dev@v1 1m 17s[2]

I'm not sure what can be done to improve the action, but I'd love to contribute
