At first, I was impressed they reduced latency by 10x:
Our initial evaluation with a realistic workload shows
a 10x improvement in latency for 40% of requests without
adding significant overhead to the remaining requests.
And then I re-read this claim, did a little math, and realized that they only reduced it by 36%.
"10x for 40% of requests" is a skeezy way of saying 36%.

- justicezyx 12y agoI read it wrong and blame the honest author... The idea is that this solution can siganificantly accelerate "some" of the requests. Meaning that, in certain use cases, this solution is an order of magnitude better. That's a very good property of this solution. If you have a solution only improve all requests by roughly 36%, that's actually hardly exciting, right? Given the complexity of a hardware impl... You just make this thread awful, dude...
