By the way, let me point out that the first I heard the piece of wisdom above 
wasn't about JavaScript, but it was from a colleague who is a well-respected 
Linux kernel developer talking about containers. He was talking about how you 
need to start your containers fast, execute the task the user requested really 
fast and send the reply. After all of that, you're free to clean up.

Latency matters too.
