I think by "npm of one year ago" they mean npm 4, since npm 5 came out last May. If so, "up to 17x" is plausible. But even though technically true, this is a cheap marketing move, IMO. If one doesn't read carefully, it may register as "npm 6 is 17x faster than whatever came out last year, that is npm 5".
