> To reduce latency, a common approach is to keep a VM idle for 10 minutes or longer after a function invocation to allow for potential reuse [45]. In contrast, if a FaaS platform is optimized for hardware utilization and throughput, this waiting time should be reduced by a factor of 10 or more, because starting a VM consumes significantly fewer resources than having a VM idle for 10 minutes
This seems somewhat surprising in such controlled environment. Why does idle function consume so many resources? If I think a normal Linux system, an idle process doesn't really consume much resources at all
