Install Playwright is the longest step in the slowest jobs. Most of the time it takes seconds, but in the runs I sampled more than a dozen E2E and browser jobs spent 7–16 min in it. Those jobs set the wall time: E2E nextjs-app-dir took 15 min, of which 12 were the install, and Playwright esm (2/4) took 17 min, of which 15.5 were the install. In those jobs the apt cache was missing from the volume (Some cache paths missing: ... /var/cache/apt/archives/), so apt-get downloaded all 42 MB from azure.archive.ubuntu.com at 50–80 kB/s.

Half of those 42 MB is not new packages. playwright install --with-deps names libraries that the image already has (glib, mesa, nss, x11, freetype, xvfb), and apt-get install upgrades named packages that are already installed. That is 24 upgrades and 21 MB, on top of 9 new font packages. Setting APT::Get::Upgrade "false" keeps the image versions but still installs the missing packages. I checked this in an ubuntu:24.04 container: apt prints Skipping libx11-6, it is already installed and upgrade is not set, installs the new package, and exits 0.

This doesn't fix the missing apt cache, but it about halves the worst case. It also stops new Ubuntu security updates from causing apt cache misses when the cache is there.

`playwright install --with-deps` names system libraries that the runner
image already has, so apt-get upgrades them to the latest Ubuntu update.
That is half of the download when the apt cache is cold.
