Fwiw I'm pretty sure 97% speedup is 197% of the speed of the baseline, so roughly double.

  That's why it's confusing: "2x speedup" would clearly indicate 200% of the current speed, so 97% speedup is unclear if it's a multiple (not because that would be a slow down), a reduction in time (which was my assumption) or an increase in speed (something per unit of time). I guess you are right and it's probably the latter, but obviously better language would have avoided any doubt.

    I understand it as " the speed increases by 97%"

      yeah indeed choice of language might not be ideal, it seems like 2x language is clearest to folks? I can make some quick edits to the article
