I crunched some numbers and did a TL;DR here
https://forge.fedoraproject.org/fesco/tickets/issues/3688#issuecomment-1367964 (there is a link to a PDF report, or here to save you a redirection: https://github.com/slopfest/sandogasa/releases/download/koji-lag-store-2026-10-19/FINDINGS.pdf ) One thing that surfaced after I crunched all the data: I could have used hw_info.log to get hardware data for the builders used for specific jobs, but I'm about to be AFK for a few days and ran out of time to redo the analysis, so expect the updated data later. But that means some of the open questions listed in the findings can be answered in the next pass. Thanks nirik for all the work here!
