We also need to get some mitr time to make sigul run multithreaded.
We're far far underutilizing the hardware we allocated for this system.

As to the above, why can't we just sign everything in the various
*-updates-candidate tags?  You'll wind up signing more than what is
going to be pushed, but since you're doing it frequently it'll not
matter as much.  Since we are using only one key for F11 and F12
updates, this would accomplish all the signing needed for those trees.
