Faster self-hosted runners for CI?

[crohr]

Hi there, I see that CI times are pretty high right now (3h+) and that you maintain a pool of self-hosted runners for some architectures, so allow me to give a potential idea for improvement.

I am the maintainer of RunsOn, a tool which would allow you to easily spawn self-hosted runners on demand in your infrastructure, with far better specs and CPU count to speed that up (using dynamic runner selection). Also natively supports Linux x64, Linux arm, windows, GPUs. For 10x cheaper than official runners and without any third-party.

Your project would definitely qualify for a free non-commercial license, and I think it would make a pretty drastic difference if you were able to easily run 32CPU+ runners for cheap.

Happy to take the discussion elsewhere if needed, thanks!
