You need to find a way to weight it. Improving, by a huge percentage, something that is traditionally very slow can sometimes be trivial. Improving, by even a few percentage points, something that many different systems have spent decades trying to make as fast as possible can be much more significant. For example, finding files in a big file system using standard file calls takes forever. Making this hundreds or even thousands of times faster is certainly possible. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWIo6sia_hw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWIo6sia_hw On the other hand, making general database queries run faster than the latest version of Postgres with proper indexes takes a bit of novel thinking. Even a 20% or 30% improvement should be considered a breakthrough, let alone 2x or better. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OVICKCkWMZE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OVICKCkWMZE
