Use local analysis to speed up "Request computer analysis"

So as far as I can tell, "request computer analysis" button post-game uses only server-side analysis. Perhaps we can add some option to complement this with local analysis and store the evaluations + best moves in the graph as well? This would probably lighten the server load and enable for more analyses to be simultaneously conducted.
I too would like this - not for speed reasons, but for deeper analysis. Not infrequently the move the (otherwise wonderful) "learn from your mistakes" feature thinks is the best turns out to be third or fourth best with deep analysis.
Here's one (admittedly simple) example - looking at the graph of the server computer analysis you can see it spikes up after 9...a6. But let the local analysis run for a while and you can see that a6 is the best move and also that black has a very healthy advantage, much more than the server's 0.3 edge.
