These are pre-built binary tarballs - no compilation happens at all, just download + autoPatchelf. Building remotely would download the tarball there and ship the result back, which is slower than building locally.

using nix.buildMachines is super slow with it: https://wiki.nixos.org/wiki/Distributed_build

tested via: https://github.com/Stunkymonkey/esp32-tang
