Supabase reduced Edge Function bundle sizes by 2x and boot times by 3x for functions using npm modules, achieved by lazy integrity checks, switching to rkyv serialization, and using xxHash-3 instead of SHA-256. Users must redeploy with CLI v1.192.5 or later to benefit.

## Evidence

Verbatim from https://supabase.com/blog/edge-functions-faster-smaller:

> We’ve rolled out some exciting updates to Edge Functions which bring significant reductions to function size and boot time. If you’re using npm modules in your functions, you should see function sizes being halved and boot time reduced by 300% in most cases.
