i would love to know how much of these gains are due to help from AI. i have no problem with AI usage at all in coding but i would love to know if the dramatic gains are because of insights from ai usage.

No, the gains here aren't very dramatic when compared properly (against fsync), and have nothing to do with AI help. The gains come down to Linux kernel support for certain synchronization primitives like the Mutex on Windows, such that there is a more direct mapping of what a Windows binary expects to what the Linux kernel provides. See https://docs.kernel.org/userspace-api/ntsync.html for the kernel support that makes this possible.
