That a 250,000x performance difference is a very large gap. It’s the difference between walking 1 foot or 48 miles.



Or the difference between walking 1 femtometer or a quarter of a nanometer in a day where you're planning to hike 10km. And that's assuming the relative difference holds to the same degree in a real app, which seems unlikely.

P.s. i also didn't get that level of difference when i tried to run the microbenchmark but i didn't try very hard.
