As I understand it, the s390x builders are not
as well endowed as other architectures, and
their (instantiated) VMs (LPARs?) simply take
longer when there are other (competing) builds,
which, during a mass rebuild, can result in
slow[0].

My approach is that when a mass re-build
event is in progress I simply decide to take
that week(end) off for any Fedora work if
I want things to happen in near time.  Outside
of such mass rebuild events I usually don't
notice any significant slowness on any
architecture.

Yes, ideally, Fedora will have billions and
billions of available builders available for
every architecture with unlimited CPU,
memory, and storage for the package builds,
but unless you have billions and billions of
dollars available to make that so, I have
gotten used to some occasional slowness.




[0] A long time ago, I was involved in
managing s390 systems.  They have lot
to offer, and their RAS is likely unmatched,
and I really, really, liked their hardware
manageability, but they are not magic,
especially when the resources are cost
limited.
