I think the reason you're getting so many questions about the 'toy' statement is that often toy programs are simple in large part because they omit handling complex or difficult cases. I don't think I've ever heard the term applied to a complete problem that is merely implemented naively. As a result, saying it's a toy implementation is making people think you mean the speedup is a result of simply handling a simple portion of the problem, rather than thinking you mean even a naive implementation is quite fast.
