"LLRT offers up to over 10x faster startup"
is this what low latency means?
im curious if there are other benefits.

x2 lower costs are also pretty big if true!

Yeah it's built on the quickJS runtime that has a low footprint and fast startup but no JIT, so in anything longer than the v8 startup, it ends up being about a magnitude slower
