Someone here recently said that the Lambda Python runtime is not stock Python (apparently it's compiled without optimisations: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30953202) - maybe that has something to do with it?

It definitely could, we are talking in the order of ~10ms, even the version of python over the years can mean such improvement (or better depending on the code of course).

I was interested on the cold starts though. I will have to experiment in the future.
