Re: Is 70ms 14 or 12% faster than 80ms ?

Just want to add:  
% faster should only be use for small percentage
Bruce Dawson recommend around 20%

We don't say 100% faster, we say twice as fast
-- the number is bigger, good for marketing
-- using speed ratio is unambiguous (faster if ratio > 1)
-- work well even if code run slower, say 0.96X
-- trivial to calculate

speed vs oldest version = 1.143 * 0.96 = 1.097X
