Requests are slow

[sprt]

Our team is using SAM Local to test our API locally and requests consistently take around 1 second to execute. It's a major bottleneck for us; the test suite takes about 12 minutes to run and most of that is due to SAM Local, unfortunately.

From what I gather from this issue, the problem is that a new container is spawned every time. Are there any plans for implementing functionality to keep the containers warm (if it's even feasible)? I'd be willing to have a look but I'd need some guidance.

Running into the same thing right now. Would be great to have a flag to enable hot vs. cold behavior.

@mariotacke Yes that was. Thank you for pointing that out. The actually issue is #239
