Does Playground compile time count towards three-minute maximum?

I was wondering if compile time for our Playgrounds counts towards the three-minute maximum for the challenge.

The reason I'm asking is that at the moment, my Playground takes an uncomfortable amount of time to compile (about 30-40 seconds after clicking the run button). However, my Mac is from 2013, so it might compile faster on newer machines.
I think it doesn't count, but we're never sure. I would try to make the hole experience quicker, if it's possible, and not leaving the best for the end.
