Just to be clear, I mean 'enough saved across all pay-per-second ec2 users', not a given specific account or user, which, yeah, it's probably minimal. The scale of lambda and ec2 is...enough to make any small change a very large number in aggregate.

Right, but this is akin to summing up all of the time saved by every typist learning to type an extra 5 words a minute. Certainly you can frame this in such a way that it is impressive, but will anyone notice?
