That's a great distinction to point out between the build and deploy stages. They can be optimized in different ways + have different expectations for how they'll run.

I used to work on a decently sized Gatsby site. Cutting out some dependencies and adding better caching took the final build from ~30 minutes to less than 10. They also added incremental builds to speed things up on smaller changes. The deploy step was always pretty fast -- unless it failed for some unknown reason...
