> offers up to over 10x faster startup and up to 2x overall lower cost

i've been burned by Amazon with these type of claims can we get confirmation this is backed up actual real world testing from a non-amazon affiliated source?

The full quote is this:

> LLRT offers up to over 10x faster startup and up to 2x overall lower cost compared to other JavaScript runtimes running on AWS Lambda

I read this to mean that AWS only cares about performance on AWS Lambda, and it's probably not this much faster outside of the Lambda contxt

It’s because they never get sued for saying stuff like this
Well it does say "up to", that's pretty easy to prove with a niche contrived example
Up to 2x, or more.
