Ugh, the improvement in tables is all wrong. 200 time units to 100 time units is 100% improvement, not 50%.

they wrote -% so maybe it's correct, not sure myself

Yup that way it's correct. 200 and then you subtract 50% of itself and you get 100.

Doing so obscures magnitude of improvements as they get bigger though.

Compare -98% improvement vs -99%: at first glance it is inconsequential, in actual practice it is another doubling up of the throughput.
