How can caching and artifacts speed up eBPF on GitLab CI?

Caching and artifacts in GitLab CI can significantly enhance the performance of eBPF development by reducing build times and minimizing redundant computations. This optimization leads to faster iterations, allowing developers to focus on writing code rather than waiting for builds to complete.
