alt Hacker Newsnit: 5.1MP/s to 11.2MP/s is not an increase of 220%, it's an increase of 120%. it's 2.2x faster, but percentage increase starts at 0%, not 100%. 100% faster is double, 200% faster is triple.

2.2x the speed is 1.2x faster.
nit²: 2.2x as fast, or 2.2 times the speed; not 2.2x faster. same issue you pointed out.
using faster with x/times is just begging for misunderstandings
