Q2 will only run on 1 machine. The main ways to speed it up are:

Get more Ram

Get faster processor.

More processor cores (though this wont give a big improvement).

Also have a look at your design. If it is only just making timing, the fitter is probably working hard to route everything to meet timing. Try increasing the pipelining.
