I suppose getting in there quick would be considered unsporting?

At least this illustrates why we should hurry up.

IMHO it fails the "distinct in stylized cartoon illustrations"
criterion, it just looks like a star or explosion.

The gorilla is taken but we could have a monkey. I like the Golden Lion
Tamarin. Monkeys are vaguely smart and its ruff is not unreminiscent of
a supernova, or at least a firework explosion.

Alternatively, we could have a mountain*. Massively scalable. Very
traditional symbol, easy to draw.

Other ideas, mostly with issues - adder (CPU); snowshoe hare, star-nosed
mole, lynx (Nova Scotia); dolphin, open brain coral (brain); wellspring,
mitosis (novelty); hummingbird, tiger (generic); sheepdog (herding).

* It's tempting to suggest a volcano (mountain that's liable to explode
taking out everyone in a several-mile radius).
