Buildkite artifacts still slow to upload #4298

I am running into slow buildkite artifact uploads (of the .tar files) more frequently. I am not sure if this is a buildkite issue or due to latency on central but we should figure out a more concise way to prevent all of the artifacts being uploaded.

See example log of ~20 MB taking 15 minutes to upload
