The first phase of Quantum made styling and layout faster than any browser. The next phase will make rendering faster than anything else. The JS engine is still the old one. (Maybe it's time will come third?)

Mozilla people have been working on SpiderMonkey performance already: https://jandemooij.nl/blog/2017/12/06/some-spidermonkey-opti..., it's just not some wholesale replacement, so it probably never makes the top of the list for what they shout about. It also sounds like it has been a steady progression rather than a big jump, so maybe not quite as noticeable.
