<p>You know that annoying thing where a 1.25x (+25%) improvement in throughput (work per time) is the same as a 0.80x (-20%) reduction in time for the same amount of work?</p><p>Easy fix: just start giving ratios in decibels!</p><p>Now your 2x speed-up is a +3dB speed-up is a -3dB reduction in completion time!</p><p>(I'm not serious about this. But I'm also not not serious about this.)</p>
