Snap builds on arm are extremely slow causing them to fail
Metadata
Current evaluation
2016 report that arm snap builds on Launchpad took hours and timed out, suspected network throttling. Tagged 'cache' but never discussed; 0 comments and no activity for ~9.4 years.
Suggested action: close stale
Reason: The issue is ~9.4 years old with 0 comments and no maintainer interaction, and the reported problem was transient throttling on the 2016 Launchpad build farm (external infrastructure, referenced PPAs from that era) rather than a reproducible snapcraft defect, so it is no longer applicable to the current codebase. The 'cache' label shows no follow-up triage or plan, and no related issues or fixes were found in the corpus.

Issue body
A build that should take a few minutes is taking two hours then timing out and failing.
See https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-sdk-team/+snap/ubuntu-app-platform
Other builds are slow but complete
See https://code.launchpad.net/~pat-mcgowan/+snap/testdemo
Earlier builds on the last project were fast as of 2/14.
It seems the get requests may be taking an unexpected amount of time, almost as if they are throttled.
