Just before I disappeared for the holidays, I sent out a tweet talking about testing out the new Travis CI container infrastructure:
the new @travisci container-based infrastructure is really great… seen ~20-40% speed ups in build times o/ http://t.co/PfoeJkiomv

Last week, I spent some time moving more @TwitterOSS open source projects on GitHub to take advantage of this and have been nothing but thrilled with the results (seen build speeds improve by 30% to nearly 50%). Faster builds lower the barrier to contribution and also translate into less wasted time.
Anyways, check it out, more people need to know about this rely on Travis CI.
