You are courageous to assume a variance of 5 minutes, let alone 30
seconds in everyday systems.  Aside from the variables I've already
pointed out, you'd have to consider that certain builds outside of CI
will enter a state of constant swapping at some point, yet still finish
building if not hitting OOM limits.  Also the fact that Guix might not
be the only process hogging resources on some particular machine.
