Unexpectedly long duration when creating a directory in Dagger module

[sonic stag]

Hi,

I’m encountering a performance issue with one of my Dagger modules (python SDK). Using Dagger 0.16.3

The module:
• Starts a Docker service to run tests using Testcontainers,
• Executes ./gradlew test --build-cache,
• Then exports a directory containing the test reports.

On Dagger Cloud, I noticed that the step where the directory is created in the engine takes around 1 minute and 10 seconds, which seems extremely long for such an operation.

Could you please verify whether this duration is expected?
If it is, is there any way to optimize or improve this part of the pipeline?

Thanks in advance for your help!

That mkdir has a long time because it's right after the setup function which spawns the docker service and has to wait for it to be healthly and ready before moving forward

that's why you see the 1m33s above it
