Still with .org and `arch: arm64`: `nproc` lists either 4 or 32 cores (!), `free` 4 GB (I very much doubt that's hard though). So sometimes a full build succeeds with 8 jobs without out-of-memory retries, yielding an overall job time of about 22 minutes (e.g., https://travis-ci.org/github/ldc-developers/ldc/builds/773502971). At other times with an agent with 4 cores, it's about 45 minutes.
With .com, I've tested their `arch: arm64-graviton2` a while back, which offered only 2 cores, but a significantly higher per-core performance (comparable to x86_64) IIRC.
So not comparable with Shippable, which consistently provided something like 48 cores (with low per-core performance though) and 32/128 GB of memory.
