Documenting that we've bumped the buildkite instance type from t3 to m6i. The main reason for the switch is that the "burstable" nature of the t*-instances makes it extremely unsuitable for running benchmarks. The m6i are also much faster, but not much more expensive. Also, the agent pool is now at most 6 agents. Spinning up 10 agents and having to warm up all the caches, and then scaling back in after a single build, seemed excessive.
