We are planning to workaround this issue by wrapping the zip/unzip commands with a shell script that will copy the built product to the test buildslave directly (both machines are on the same LAN so it should be pretty fast).

And instead of uploading the built product, the script will upload to the buildmaster a fake zip file that contains only a txt with a link to the real build product.

This way we will avoid the problem with the slow upload/download.

Probably it will take some few days of try-error-fix until we fully stabilize this new setup.

Once the deployment is working as expected I plan to send a mail to the ML webkit-gtk at lists.webkit.org announcing this.
