Yes, that is a full clean build after the build directory is configured from scratch. The dependencies are prepared before that, and this is just the time to run ninja which lists 4900 build steps or so (I can't remember). I mean, the build isn't exactly very fast even on a reasonably high-end system, so I'm not all too surprised that CI is doing worse. But I'm sure your concerns are valid too. I noticed Docker can be very slow if the host OS is mismatched with the container OS (although I don't know the details of your setup and it's probably not that here).
