Spin up time of WebAPI is shown here, but returning hard coded values isn't much more than a proof of concept. Once you connect to data, you have to look at spin up time of something like EF and context/model generation over and over. What happens when you get 20 controllers with many function and routing actually has to do some work. Lambda also prevents any long running optimization such as output cacheing.
