However, it took a shorter time (0.004s) with 24 function calls than
your code (0.005s) which took just 13 function calls to execute.
Why is this?
These times are way too short for conclusive results. Typically, the OS
timer operates with a millisecond resolution. You need to run a
benchmark at least for a second to get reliable information about
timing. INstead of 24 times, call your function 20000 times in loop.

Maybe using a custom built tool such as
https://docs.python.org/3/library/timeit.html#module-timeit ?
