Delays on computational services

[JavierGOrdonnez]

As a user, I am facing delays on using a computational service that I had never experienced before.

"The on demand computational cluster is not ready 'est. remaining time: 01:49'

Also, it seems to be downloading and extracting the (new version?) python runner on a loop, it took nearly 10 mins.

This significantly worsens the user experience (+10mins already waiting to run a simple test to check whether my code works). Would be great if we could go back to the previous user experience.
