It’s a 100x speed increase on 7% of the boot time, so it should be approximately a 7% decrease in boot time.
- torstenvl 3y agoEDIT: I misread—please disregard the below comment. 3.5% decrease. A 100% increase in speed is a 50% reduction in time. E.g., traveling 60km at 30km/h takes two hours, but at 60km/h takes one hour.
- loeg 3y agoYou're misreading 100x as 100%. 100x is 10,000%.
- dharmab 3y agoA 100x increase is a 9900% increase, not a 100% increase.

- Finn_ 3y ago100x not 100%. 3,000 km/h takes 1.2 minutes to go 60km.
- chris_wot 3y agoThank you, that's what I was interested in. Not sure why I got downvoted, it was a legitimate question as I didn't know what parts were adversely affected.
