Is it possible to speed up installation of browsers in GitHub Actions?

I just had a run where it took 40 minutes for playwright install --with-deps to finish on ubuntu-latest in a hosted GitHub Actions runner. Is there something that can be done to speed this up? Even when it's not unbearably slow it still takes about 55 seconds which is really slow.

It looks like the official GitHub Actions for Playwright are at least sometimes around 55 seconds as well:
