    I'm always fuzzy on this, so 116% faster or 16% faster? The benchmarks suggest 16%.

      116% would be 2x which will break the laws of physics. 16% is possible if you're not allocating heap memory, which I believe is the main selling point here.

      (Feels like it should probably say &quot;1.16x as fast&quot; or &quot;1.16x the throughput&quot; - or something like that.)
