Wouldn't faster boot times mean that scale-out can be done on-demand? Whether this is preferable or not over poorer runtime performance is up to the domain, no?

When scaling out, edge latency will overshadow kernel boot-up times: speeding up boot-up from 1.5s to 150ms will not have any perceived impact on app performance when scaling on edge to meet the demand.
