We don't currently cache anything from one build to the next. We are open to optimizations here, in the future.

Our Python dependencies include gensim and numpy which puts the build > 10min. Without layer caching, what can I do to get the build time down?

In my mind, at least for custom builds, the most widely-applicable optimization would be providing the build environment with a FUSE-mounted build-cache GCS bucket. Such a mount could then be used in ways similar to the way Heroku's buildpacks use their build artifact cache directory.
In other words, what happens if I build the same source tree twice or if one line changes between one run and the next?
