Description

I'm opening this issue as a blank issue because it's still not clear if this is a bug!

For some reason, calling the cache save function in the post phase seems to cause a lot of blank time after uploading the cache. This did not happen until a few months ago, if I remember correctly. I just want to check if the actions team has a clear idea of what caused this.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the delay when the cache save function runs in the post phase, comparing behavior after the cache upload with earlier behavior if possible. The issue is done when the cause of the blank time is identified and the appropriate change or follow-up is clearly established.
