system: image: Do not offload image files.
Image files can be very large (multiple gigabytes), and the process of generating them is primarily I/O bound. As disk access is typically faster than network access, it makes sense build them locally. * gnu/system/image.scm (system-disk-image): Pass the #:local-build? #t parameter to computed-file calls dealing with generating image files. (system-iso9660-image): Likewise.
