The new general version is actually faster than the version accused of cheating.
The architecture of the query engine is:
SQL -> IR -> Assembly
-preview had the full IR -> Assembly pipeline built out, but only part of the SQL -> IR part. As long as queries compile to the same IR, they're just as fast. We've shipped some more optimizations, so they got even faster.
