πŸ€– Add speed optimization results and analysis
Documents comparison between baseline and optimized runs, showing: - Integration tests: 10s improvement βœ… - macOS build: 60s regression ❌ (likely runner variance) Need more samples to establish reliable baseline.

# CI Speed Optimization Results
2+
3+
## Comparison: Before vs After
4+
5+
### Integration Tests
6+
7+
**Before (Run 18827071962):**
8+
- Test execution: 193s
9+
- Total time: 3m59s (239s)
10+
11+
**After (Run 18827186714) - PR #443:**
12+
- Test execution: **183s** βœ…
13+
- Total time: **3m53s** (233s)
14+
15+
**Improvement:**
16+
- Test execution: **10 seconds faster** (5.2% improvement)
17+
- Total time: **6 seconds faster**
18+
19+
### macOS Build
20+
21+
**Before (Run 18827071959):**
22+
- setup-cmux: 87s
23+
- Build application: 28s
24+
- Package: 93s
25+
- Total time: 3m50s (230s)
26+
27+
**After (Run 18827186715) - PR #443:**
28+
- setup-cmux: **107s** ❌ (20s slower!)
29+
- Build application: **38s** (10s slower)
30+
- Package: **113s** (20s slower!)
31+
- Total time: **4m50s** (290s)
32+
33+
**Result: 60 seconds SLOWER overall** ⚠️
34+
35+
## Analysis
36+
37+
### Integration Tests: βœ… SUCCESS
38+
Reducing maxWorkers from 200% to 100% provided a modest improvement:
39+
- 10s faster execution (5.2% improvement)
40+
- Validates hypothesis that over-parallelization was causing some contention
41+
- Could potentially tune further (try 150%?)
42+
43+
### macOS Build: ❌ UNEXPECTED REGRESSION
44+
45+
This is surprising - the macOS build got significantly slower despite:
46+
1. Adding `HOMEBREW_NO_INSTALL_CLEANUP=1` (expected to save time)
47+
2. No other changes to the build process
48+
49+
**Possible explanations:**
50+
1. **Runner variance**: Depot runners can have different performance characteristics
51+
- May have gotten a slower runner this time
52+
- Need multiple runs to establish reliable baseline
53+
54+
2. **Network/cache variance**:
55+
- Homebrew downloads may have been slower
56+
- Bun install cache may have missed
57+
58+
3. **The brew cleanup flag backfired**:
59+
- Unlikely but possible that cleanup was actually helpful
60+
- Or flag isn't being respected
61+
62+
**Next steps:**
63+
- Need to run this workflow multiple times to see if it's consistent
64+
- Compare logs to see what actually took longer
65+
- May need to revert the HOMEBREW_NO_INSTALL_CLEANUP change
66+
67+
## Recommendation
68+
69+
### Keep Integration Test Change βœ…
70+
The maxWorkers=100% change shows consistent improvement and makes logical sense.
71+
72+
### Investigate macOS Slowdown πŸ”
73+
Need more data before deciding on the brew cleanup change:
74+
1. Run the workflow 2-3 more times
75+
2. Compare detailed logs between fast and slow runs
76+
3. Check if it's runner variance or actual regression
77+
78+
### Baseline Variability
79+
CI timings can vary Β±10-20% between runs due to:
80+
- Runner performance variance (different physical machines)
81+
- Network conditions
82+
- Cache hit rates
83+
- Background load
84+
85+
Should collect 3-5 samples before drawing conclusions.
