Language is, as you nicely point out, very tricky.
Yeah, when talking of speed, you can clearly go more than 100% faster.
But when talking of something taking a certain amount of time, like done in most benchmarks, it can't be made more than 100% faster.
- gilbetron 4y agoYou can because when you say 100% faster, it is referring to speed, and so you convert to speed than calculate time from that. Language matters :)
- hinkley 4y ago> We have reduced the time for the computation by ~119%! You can say 100% faster when you are talking about speed. You can't say 100% faster when you are talking about duration. "Reduced the time" is talking about duration.
