Update: Matt Kane on Twitter (https://twitter.com/ascorbic/status/1591728244323389440) replied to my thread explaining that:

1) Part of the issue here is my Netlify account having branch builds enabled, which resulted in two builds running for every commit. This resulted in longer queue times with a concurrency level of 1, which would explain about ~20s of the queuing time seen here to run a branch build of similar length.

2) The other part is Netlify's previews run on PR creation, not on every commit like on all the other services tested here. This explains another ~5s of delay between creating the branch and opening the PR.

That unfortunately still leaves ~30s of the total ~55s of queuing time above unaccounted for. Initial tests with branch builds turned off show results that are much more competitive, but it was performed on 4AM on a Sunday, so I can't conclusively rule out additional queuing delays during busier hours yet. Will be investigating further during PDT business hours. Stay tuned for another update!
