Suggestion/Discussion: Add client-side analysis

Sometimes the server-side analysis ("REQUEST A COMPUTER ANALYSIS" on the analysis board) takes quite some time, sometimes I don't want to start an analysis for my bullet games as I don't want to waste the general public resources.

These two reason make we wonder if it would be a good idea to introduce a client-side analysis that basically does the same, but performed by my own CPU.

Thoughts?
Something is wrong with the Fishnet network
In other words: Fishnet is the system that people can donate processing to analyze matches
The computer analysis is not done by a single server, but by people donating their CPU. Your suggestion is already there: You can help out by adding your system to the above mentioned Fishnet network: lichess.org/help/contribute . I do it myself and it is easy to set-up. You can choose when you want to provide your CPU-power or not. While running the .exe you can see what games your system is currently analysing, which is a good and interesting feature.
server analysis has gotten way slower in the past few days

Problem is you would be need to take the whole fish system rework it alot to get it to work on a person device then people with slow devices will complain and gating it behind a benchmark would cause more problems and so on
