Sigh. I despair of "16x faster" and "20x faster" headlines that ignore the raw numbers. The worst numbers in there are far below the threshold of user perception. Unless these results are compounded by running in a loop, they are meaningless. Not immeasurable, just meaningless. 


That piece is from 1993, but the human nervous system hasn't changed since then.
