Improves outputs relative to what? Compared to previous contexts of 1M, it improves outputs by allowing them to exist (because previously you couldn't exceed 200K). Compared to contexts of <200K, it degrades outputs rather than improves them, but that's what you'd expect from longer contexts. It's still better than compaction, which was previously the alternative.
