Running programs and checking code challenges takes 5-10 seconds in C#

I am taking the C# beginners course and when I perform a "dotnet run" to execute even simple programs like Hello World it takes 5+ seconds to compile and run the code.

During code challenges it takes 10+ seconds to preview and check work. Is there something going on with Treehouse or could it be an issue on my end? I'm working in the latest version of chrome.

Behind the scenes, there are several layers of programs involved in performing challenge evaluations. So a bit of execution time should be expected.

There's a blog post from years ago where one of the creators talks about the process in detail, if you care to dig it up.
