JIT compilation on serverless (i.e. Modal Labs)

[andersonbcdefg]

I'm noticing that it takes a really long time to start up anything with ranx in a serverless setting, e.g. Modal Labs. I tried adding a step during the build process where I call the functions that need to be cached, but it doesn't seem to help. This is true even if I explicitly set the NUMBA_CACHE_DIR to a directory that will persist from build -> deployment. Do you have advice on how to avoid the JIT slow start in this setting?
