Please No, the point of the CI is partly to tell people they broke
something as soon as possible so they can fix or revert it before others
build on their broken code, waiting a day defeats a lot of the purpose.

No, it should only take 1-2s after each push since we only need to sync to
the mirror whatever commits you just pushed. If we really need to, we can
make it start an asynchronous job that pushes in the background, but I
don't expect that to be necessary.

it only mirrors changes to the matching repo on debian salsa, so each
post-receive hook only needs to push the current repo, not all 15.
