i have a shiny app that produces plotly maps with info about specific characteristics of us counties. The app works fine but it takes 40sec in order to create a map every time i call one. I use a reactive expression (rt2) with if and else if in order to do the pre-processing Is there a way to do some kind of parallel processing or something like this to save time?
