... Actually, this only worked for Linux. My Windows container is back to precompiling every time, again, and Windows was the slow one that I wanted to fix in the first place. I had to revert this. Back to the drawing board. I wish Julia would print some diagnostics about why it decided to precompile again.
I think I finally nailed it? I needed to update JULIA_DEPOT_PATH since I was relocating the cache files. I knew that and was already doing it, but I didn't do it right: I needed a trailing semicolon so it would have an empty entry at the end! The documentation talks about this but I didn't understand it at the time: https://docs.julialang.org/en/v1/manual/environment-variable...
