Vagrant for real
summary
Practical, specific fixes: switching provider to vagrant-vmware-fusion cuts a 22‑minute build to ~15 minutes (≈30% faster); using vagrant-cachier keeps apt packages local and saves ~30% on reprovisions; moving logs and caches to tmpfs for /var/cache and mounting DB files in RAM dramatically speeds tests; set CPU to half and RAM to a quarter of host, enable forward_agent = true for git access, bake a golden box with vagrant package and publish on Atlas to avoid repeated provisioning.
