Make Ubuntu packages 90% faster by rebuilding them
Thanks for this, as an average HN user I didn't click the link and just skimmed the comments thinking how is it possible that they reduced the runtime to 10% of the original. This post clarifies that for me (now on to actually read the blog post).

The title doesn’t imply that at all though. 100% faster means doubled speed. 10% runtime means 1000% faster.

I think it's not idiomatic to talk that way, especially because it's ambiguous.
