In order of significance:
This is the most significant part, large scale means entirely different problems to tackle.
Seen from the perspective of the codebase. Some of this functionality is not of interest to the users (tracking etc). All code executed takes time in some way, shape or form.
Lemmy has had less time to accumulate cruft compared to reddit.
Not super-significant at the end of the day, but it does make a difference.
