Hello,

I think the issue is that we are communicating with guix-daemon over a
blocking socket. When Cuirass calls "build-derivations", and the "read"
over guix-daemon socket blocks, the whole Fiber scheduler is also
blocked.
As the GC is running for 6 - 7 hours a day[1], a Fiber scheduler is also
blocked for that duration. There's still some activity happening on
other schedulers, but that's still quite unfortunate. For instance,
nothing has been fetched since 4:00 this morning.
Thanks,
Mathieu
