post run is very slow

[prabirshrestha]

I have been trying to test different CI builds with static linking openssl in rust. Even if it fails or if I cancel the post run takes forever. is it possible to skip post run if the workflow has been cancelled or moon step has failed?

@prabirshrestha I'll look into it. For now you can probably try the cache-base setting.

Now that I think of another huge improvement could be to support a cache-provider which could be set to GitHub for GitHub cache, s3 of s3 aware cache or local file system. I'm using a self hosted runner so it seems weird that it uploads and downloads the cache wasting upload/download time. Expiring caches could be hard when using filesystem, since you would need to build cache invalidation. If using minio it supports expiration for objects. if they are not using self hosted they could use actual s3 provider.

@prabirshrestha If you're using a self hosted runner, you should probably just turn the cache off since I'm assuming the runner environment doesn't get reset between runs (thats how my self hosted works).
