drone-volume-cache: cache very slow with much files
restoring cache (means copying files from a to b) is very slow when you have much files, in my setup its takes almost 5 minutes. what about tar.gz’ing files and copy and untar?
on my (very slow) testing server:
- copying node_modules from a to b takes about 5 minutes
tar -czftakes about 4 seconds- copying a archive is fast

I’d suggest using https://github.com/drone-plugins/drone-volume-cache/ instead. It uses tar archives, so it only transfers a single file back and forth. The overhead of lots of tiny files is much smaller in that plugin.
It’s not very well documented, but it works in a very similar way to this plugin.
