GitLab CI Runner suddenly very slow

I have a successful setup of a GitLab CI project with a private runner. Suddenly, the CI steps take over 4 minutes, instead of 20-25 seconds. I cannot pinpoint the increase in time. Could it be, that somewhere a timeout is being hit? by accessing a folder/network etc? My CI project has a simple gcc command, nothing fancy at all.

Any thoughts/experiences with this?

Timestamps in Gitlab CI are still an open issue (#22745). However you could measure it with ts from moreutils, in bash you can pipe all the output through it with exec > >(ts ) 2>&1. Example for ubuntu image follows:

ts:
  image: ubuntu:latest
  before_script:
    - apt-get update
    - apt-get install -qq moreutils
    - exec > >(ts ) 2>&1
  script:
    - > 
        for I in {1..10}; do
          sleep $((RANDOM % 10))s;
          echo $I;
        done
