Description

Do you want to request a feature or report a bug? feature

What is the expected behavior?

Would be cool to experiment and see if fetch phase becomes faster if we do fetch/unzip to cache using workers.

Contributor guide

Investigate the current fetch and unzip code in the codebase. Look into using Node.js worker threads to parallelize tarball decompression during fetch.
