There was some discussion about package precompilation being slow in [Julia in Colab - #25 by vchuravy](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/julia-in-colab/126600/25). The problem should be the filesystem where the precompile cache is saved, I think someone had some luck by choosing a faster partition.
