That's an example of an algorithmic improvement (log n vs n), not a micro benchmark, Mr. Fallacy.
"Mr. Fallacy."? Got any better juvenile name-calling?
The case is among the example numbers given in TFA:
"Dict lookup by key", "List membership check"
Does it have to spell out the difference is algorithmic in this case for the comparison to be useful?
Or, inversely, is the difference between e.g. memory and disk access times insignificant, because it's not algorithmic?
