Simple echo with gitlab-runner (docker executor) takes 15 secs

GitLab CI/CD
1

I am trying to speed up the Gitlab CI pipeline. Here is an exaple:

.gitlab-ci.yml:

image: ubuntu
stages:
  - stage1
  - stage2
  - stage3
  - stage4
stage1:
  stage: stage1
  script:
    - echo stage1
stage2:
  stage: stage2
  script:
    - echo stage2
stage3:
  stage: stage3
  script:
    - echo stage3
stage4:
  stage: stage4
  script:
    - echo stage4

Running the whole pipeline takes about a 1 minute. So each job take about 15 seconds.

I already set the check_interval = 1 in the config.toml of the gitlab-runner.

Is there anything else I can do to speed it up?
