I have a 11 step workflow. Summing up each step’s duration I come to a total duration of 13,523 ms. But at the top it says: 31,242 ms. Do you know why? THX! 
It can take a bit of time to spin up the new container to run a new execution environment and initialize each step, so the ~17 second delta is the sum of that initialization time. With 11 steps, I’d recommend increasing the memory of the workflow in your workflow’s settings, and you’re likely to see an improvement in the startup time. You can also set dedicated workers to ensure you’ve always got an instance of the workflow up to process events
