I just checked the substitute cache in /var/guix/substitute/cache and
these files are small (3K only!). So, all that pain to fetch a 3K file
:). I thought it was network related, but it is generating this cache
file that is expensive. =20

So, yes, a fast server may help greatly. And are you sure the
server is able to serve concurrent requests? Maybe the SQL database
is blocking somehow?
