The only thing faster than apt-fast is @fanquake applying the label

This script seems a bit on the large side to include in the repository.

But let's see if it makes the CI a lot faster.

I get mixed results. Here are the times for the whole install script (Though that also includes a clone of the qa-assets repo)

Yes those are mixed results. Some times are almost halved, others become significantly slower.

I wonder how much of that is due to the script itself or Travis' own pretty much extreme variance in runtime.

Back when I was using Debian/Ubuntu I used apt-fast for a while and then stopped because it wasn't really faster over time

Selecting a better mirror can already make a big difference.
