Okay, so the idea behind the new decorator is not to group all the defined steps under the same script so that they share the same environment, but rather to simplify the process of creating scripts for each step and avoid manually calling Task.init on those scripts.

Regarding virtual environment creation from caching, I will keep running benchmarks (from what you say it might be due to high workload in the servers we use)

So far I've been unlucky in the attempt of clearml recognizing packages within the decorator function, but I'll keep trying it
