Improving a custom repo
It's slow because makepkg lints the PKGBUILD every time. You can use libmakepkg instead (cf. https://github.com/AladW/aurutils/blob/master/lib/aur-build--pkglist or https://github.com/eli-schwartz/dotfiles/blob/master/bin/mksrcinfo)

Thought Experiment: Building and Running AUR Packages in Containers
My personal AUR helper builds AUR packages in an nspawn container. Thinking about scripting the automation of running them in dedicated nspawn container as well.

Recommended AUR Helper
I ended up writing my own AUR helper that sets up aurutils inside an nspawn container. It does prompt for inspecting and/or modifying git cloned files before building. However, it omits other typical AUR helper features like building/updating multiple packages at once. On the other hand, it transparently manages required gpg keys and AUR dependencies. https://github.com/Cody-Learner/aurch
