It's because they're real bulbs, which are probably being run under their rated voltage. The fade-in-fade-out is filament warm-up time, then cool-down. If you replace with LEDs, you'll get the abrupt on-off-on-off.
Getting fade-in and -out is definitely doable with LEDs. There's the Ngineering module (cheap, and I have had nothing but great results with his circuits), and then there's Max's approach with the capacitors.
Which Ngineering module?
