At first, I was impressed they reduced latency by 10x:

    Our initial evaluation with a realistic workload shows
    a 10x improvement in latency for 40% of requests without
    adding significant overhead to the remaining requests.

And then I re-read this claim, did a little math, and realized that they only reduced it by 36%.

"10x for 40% of requests" is a skeezy way of saying 36%.

And that's not taking into account the "not significant" overhead added to the remaining 60%.
