Maybe just as a datapoint. My -current snap building machine is running
a kernel of Oct 24 and I noticed this morning that it is taking a very
long time to scp the snap to internat. Normally it takes a few minutes
but it is now more than a hour and it isn't halfway yet. The machine
is almost totally idle. The machine is running an SMP kernel if it
matters.
