Yes, the lambda approach falls victim to function calls being slow.

$ python3 -m timeit -s "j = 5" "if j < 10: j+=1
> else: j=3"
10000000 loops, best of 3: 0.0513 usec per loop
$ python3 -m timeit -s "j = 5" "j = j + 1 if j < 10 else 3"
10000000 loops, best of 3: 0.0519 usec per loop
$ python3 -m timeit -s "j = 5" "j = (3, j+1)[j < 10]"
10000000 loops, best of 3: 0.0883 usec per loop
$ python3 -m timeit -s "j = 5" "j = (lambda: 3, lambda: j+1)[j < 10]()"
1000000 loops, best of 3: 0.312 usec per loop
