In the context of speed, 500 times slower is more dramatic than 75 times slower.

The issue is that the recursive Fibonacci number algorithm is notoriously unrealistic (it's exponential in its argument, growing as φ^n). Because of this, the claim that the example is more "powerful" is a little dubious.
