+1

That was the first thing that came to my mind too, but it felt out of place for 
me to suggest that. I've less problems giving a '+1' on a suggestion from 
someone like Ben.

I had several thoughts about that:
- The PC on which I'm typing this email has twice the resources
- It's impressive that the whole of Salsa can run on that
- But why doesn't have f.e. 4x or 8x those resources?

I think Salsa is great and I'm a big fan of CI.
But IMO Salsa isn't exactly fast and particularly running the CI pipelines 
takes (way) longer then I'd like. The major value of a CI is in providing a 
fast feedback loop.
Not hindered by any knowledge in this specific area, this seems an area where 
throwing money at it will actually help. Possibly substantially.
