Hi Joachim,

Thanks for writing in! We have increased the hard build time-out to 70
minutes for the ghc/ghc repository, I hope this works for you.

We have seen that you run your builds on the container infrastructure.
You might want to try to use our `real`, sudo-enabled VMs. For some
workloads, they perform better. Have a look in our documentation to
see the differences:
https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/ci-environment/#Virtualization-environments
[1]. To try out if this brings an improvement for you, you can include
the following in the build configuration:

	sudo: required
Please let us know how that works out for you.

Thanks, and have a great day!

Joep
