In our benchmarks, cold starts for the median-sized function dropped from .2.8s to 1.3s When Python imports a module without cached bytecode, it parses and compiles the source before executing it. That compilation step adds startup time for functions with large dependency trees. Vercel now compiles both application code and dependencies and includes the resulting files in the function bundle, so the interpreter skips compilation a
