Thank you, Matthew.

The following code takes around 250ms on my machine. Any idea why? I was 
expecting it to be fast since the module is based on racket/base.

#lang racket/base

(require syntax/location)
(require racket/place)
    
(module test racket/base
 (provide place-main)
racket
 (define (place-main pch)
  (void)))

(time (place-wait (dynamic-place (quote-module-path test) 'place-main)))
