I found the comparisons wanting, as they only estimated the delays caused by the downloading of the data. They apparently made no attempt to measure the performance impact of actually running all the trackers/ads in the browser. From results posted elsewhere, I believe this is also a meaningful amount of time for many sites.

So the net improvement of an ad blocker may be even higher than stated here.
