I interpreted his comment as saying “where’s the 20% speed up” which seems like a more reasonable interpretation in context. A 20% speed up is actually quite substantial because that’s aggregate - it must mean there’s situations where it’s more as well as situations where it’s unchanged or worse (although unlikely to be worse under internet conditions).

FWIW I don't know if that is what was claimed.
20% is what real world data from Google suggested: https://www.zdnet.com/article/google-speeds-up-the-web-with-...
