Why is lambda so slow?

Probably (since you don't define what you mean by "so slow")
you are referring to the effect of it implementing a function
call, which in Python is a relatively expensive operation to
set up (creating the stack frame, etc).

I think any other response requires you to define "how slow"
you think it is...
