New CircleCI resource classes, Gen 2 https://circleci.com/docs/guides/execution-managed/using-docker/#docker-gen2-benefits came out recently. These claim a 1.4x average speedup. This PR is closer to 1.5x, the entire pipeline took as long as the s2 docs build job used to take all on its own.
One thing to weigh, they are a little more expensive upfront to use.
But if I'm doing my maths correctly, it's still cheaper overall, even if we only hit their 1.4x speedup.

Was:
Medium 10 credits/min
Large 20 credits/min
X-large 40 credits/min
2 X-large 80 credits/min
Now:
Medium 12 credits/min
Large 24 credits/min
X-large 48 credits/min
2 X-large 96 credits/min
But if we consider the time savings, we can compare it like this:
Assuming a task takes 1min to complete
Medium 10 credits/task vs 8.04 credits/task
Large 24 credits/min vs 16.08 credits/task
X-large 48 credits/min vs 32.16 credits/task
2 X-large 96 credits/min vs 64.32 credits/task
