Description

You could improve performance by pushing dependencies into it's own Dockerfile using DockerHub.

Seems redundant to download and install packages for this image on every single build action.

It looks like this would probably cut 25 seconds off every single build, as the dependencies would not need to be installed every time.

Reducing the total build 43 seconds to 18 seconds could mean a 60% reduction in build time!

Thanks again for this package, Any thoughts?

Contributor guide

Research direction
Create a Dockerfile that installs project dependencies and push it to Docker Hub. Then update the CI configuration to use the new image instead of installing dependencies each time.
