Third party dependencies currently take up 1/3 of the overall build time (~7min, the largest individual chunk).
It would be preferable to just cache these in the actions cache, and reuse them for future workflows. That would cut down on a lot of the build time.
With "MSBuild" workflows (which builds using the precreated VS solutions) this is fairly simple since we can build its dedicated solution file.
I'm not so sure how this would work with CMake.
But it'd really help our build times.
