I guess it depends on the changes being tested.
We have a ccache regenerated once a week against the main branch.
That might help compilations for changes on drivers only.

And it might depend on luck too / the resources available on the
system that runs the tests.
We once hit a case with OVS GHA where the cached DPDK binaries were
built on a system that had a more recent cpu (and this is the reason
why we now build with -Dmachine=default).
