Nice to see somewhat knowledgable commenting on this issue and actually test things out. It's very easy to say "meh, you haven't done a scientific test so it's probably placebo", but remember that you're being equally un-scientific in such an analyse.
When so many users are reporting improvements you (aka. Google) owe them to get to the bottom of it.
I also find it surprisingly that nearly no-one posts information about what phone they tested it on. Android ships in so many variants that it wouldn't surprise me if it only works in some of them.

No, dismissing unblinded observations of phenomena the perceptions of which are notoriously suggestible (like UI responsiveness) is not "equally un-scientific" as making unblinded observations of phenomena the perceptions of which are notoriously suggestible. Pointing out that such observations is unreliable is, in fact, a simple application of science. Grandstanding tu quoque arguments are not.
