Swiss tournaments are on Lichess

Note to developers: bbpPairing needs much CPU time. It can be up to several minutes for large tournaments, even for the first round. This may block the responsiveness of the server.
In Swiss chess, a team leader is unable to find team members. Please ease the process of finding team members. Thanks in advance.
Do we know what size Swiss events are being held? And what size may cause problems?

According to the documentation of bbpPairing, the runtime will increase as roughly somewhat more than the cube of the number of participants.

By my calcs doubling the number of participants typically multiplies the runtime by a factor in the region of 10-15.

Tournaments with nearly 200 players seem to have worked ok.

Anyone knows how the "automatic (recommended)" option in the "interval between rounds" work and why is it recommended?
My team had organized a Swiss tournament yesterday, 21st of May, but it was not completed due to the time-out of the Lichess platform. However, the tournament is still visible on our team's page, probably because it has not been completed. Could you fix it? lichess.org/swiss/I8QWVZ43
Played a swiss tournament yesterday, now a l l our tournaments during the past weeks are no longer visible..what's wrong?
A game that only swiss people can join?! I can't believe you came up with such a racist game! I've experienced a lot of racism in my life, but now one of the managers of LICHESS is racist! How horrible!
