Description

Have you considered asking the community support in terms of mirroring the playground?
At the moment https://play.rust-lang.org/ takes about ~1.5 secs to compile and run a snippet. Could sharing the load across different VMs make it snappier?

Research direction

Define whether mirroring the Playground and distributing compilation across VMs is feasible, with reduced waiting time and preserved snippet execution as the completion criteria.
