Assuming an excellent technique in the 50 free,
where can 1 second be gained? The start, the turn,
the equipment?

The first reply from the Fortress was awesome. I'd like to add two things;
1. Add some EVF isometrics where you raise your elbows near or above your ears and hold them there. The duration of an isometric will vary from six seconds to specific times (times that duplicate the goal time). Endurace swimmers need to hold the isometrics longer while sprinters may need to add stretch cords or light dumbells to their routine.
2. Perform EVF drill that are super slow and emphasize that aspect of the stroke.
Dropping one second isn't easy but you can do it. Good luck, Coach T.
