+For this reason, reducing the amount of code that runs in step 2 is a great way to improve performance.
 One way of doing this is to move code from _run-time_ to _build-time_.
 Whilst run-time code runs on every single tooling run, build-time code only runs once (when the Docker image is built).
 
 Build-time code runs once as part of a GitHub Actions workflow.
-Therefore, its fine if the code that runs at build-time is (relatively) slow.

+This directory is set up as a test exercise and depends on the same base libraries that the actual exercise depends on.
 Then we run the tests on that directory, which is similar to how tests are run for an actual exercise.
 Running the tests will result in the base being compiled, but the difference is that this happens at _build time_.
-The resulting Docker image will thus have its base libraries already compiled, which means that no longer has to happen at _run time_, resulting in (much) faster execution times.
