Sigh. I despair of "16x faster" and "20x faster" headlines that ignore the raw numbers. *The worst numbers in there are far below the threshold of user perception*. Unless these results are compounded by running in a loop, they are meaningless. Not immeasurable, just meaningless. https://www.nngroup.com/articles/response-times-3-important-limits/ That piece is from 1993, but the human nervous system hasn't changed since then.
