It is not "1.04x" faster, which would mean 104%, or twice as fast / half the time. It is 4% faster.
- baggy_trough 2y agoIt is literally 1.04x faster.
- cb321 2y agoLanguage is, of course, an agreed upon convention, but everyone I know who says "2x faster" has seemed to mean "takes half the time". The "x" here is intended to be short for "multiplication" to indicate a time ratio, not short for "extra".
- mywittyname 2y ago1.04x faster means 4% faster. It's the difference represented as a ratio of the new and original value. 226 / 217 = 1.04 2x would be twice as fast. For example, I used to drink 4 cups of coffee a day, now I drink 8 cups. You could say I 8 / 4 = 2x(ed) my coffee intake. A "10x" developer is one who develops at 10 times the pace of a single normal developer.
