Whenever I look at drastic improvements in performance, I remember that a while ago I managed to speed up a custom parser at work, by about 30x. When I emailed my colleagues, I just said "You may consider this to be work of a genius. Or you may think I was stupid when writing the original implementation. I'll let you pick the narrative that you fancy."
Interpretations are fun when there's a baseline :-)
