I've compared the execution time to other PRs that don't use uv yet, but I don't find any significant improvement on the runtime of jobs.

However, I think we can still go ahead with this PR anyway.

Yeah, I didn't see much of a performance boost. I suspect its probably because poetry is installing most of the dependencies.
