Postgres WAL on the NVMe; wal_buffers 64 MB
Test and deploy / test (push) Successful in 57s
Test and deploy / edge (push) Successful in 1m58s
Test and deploy / deploy (push) Successful in 1m6s

Every commit waited on the WAL in ./pg on the HDD (WALWrite; the HDD 100%
busy, 56–70 ms a write): prober flushes and claims took most of each minute.
A PG_WAL_DIR volume (default /var/lib/usenet-rebuild-wal) at
/var/lib/postgresql/wal, with data/pg_wal a symlink to it (set up by hand
once, with Postgres stopped).
