Optimization
The specific workflow runtime depends on various factors beyond just disk and CPU performance. It's a good idea to understand whether the workflow is CPU bound or IO bound for choosing the optimal configuration for your workflow.
A general rule to note is that the network infrastructure speeds (> 900MBps) are much higher than the disk throughput (~250-1000 MBps) and is unlikely to be a bottleneck. However, it could still be the limiting factor if the source (example: dockerhub) does not support high data transfer speeds.
Boot times
Boot times for custom runners can be slower than the default runners and take 45-60s.
