FWIW petsc master or maint build relatively quickly on travis' build 
machines (2-5 minutes depending on how many third party packages you 
need). If you're able to use travis' containerized infrastructure you 
can cache the PETSc builds reducing the PETSc build times to near 0. 
I've done that for a couple of my projects and it turned out to be 
really easy, see for example here:

Have a look at .travis.yml and utilities/get_petsc.sh.

Cheers,
Dominic
