Description

Is there any way to keep phantom running between screenshots? I would imagine this would cut down on the amount of time it takes to generate a screenshot

Contributor guide

Research direction
Explore how PhantomJS is currently used in screenshot stream. Look into spawning a single PhantomJS instance and reusing it for multiple screenshots instead of creating a new one each time. Consider managing a pool of instances and handling concurrent requests. Also evaluate potential memory and stability issues.
