Downloading action repository to self-hosted runner takes 2.5 minutes #103

Every time I run my workflow on my self-hosted runner it has to redownload the whole action repository which takes 2.5 minutes. This is the step in my workflow log: Download action repository 'azure/login@v1'.

I am not sure if this is a more general issue in GitHub Actions, where the action repository is redownloaded every time even if it is the exact same version being used each run. But since the other actions I use are downloaded in a matter of seconds and this action takes 2.5 minutes I opened the issue here.

Also I have looked into using the cache action, but can't figure out how to use it for caching "external" actions, or if that is possible at all, that's also why I have opened this issue.
