Probably in the queue.

I have experience with a similar setup, from setting up the NetBSD CI
images for the Go project.

Your timing is similar to what I had in some early tests. That said,
have you measured what is the slow part? I bet it's the network, not
specifically pkgin.

I don't see timing information in the CI log -- you could wrap the pkgin
calls with "time", or print timestamps before each command.

Maybe you need to change something in the networking setup on the qemu
side to get more throughput? There is no dmesg output in the log, so I
would check if the network uses vioif, or an emulated interface.
