> We show that many important and widely-used NGS algorithms can be made up to 160× faster than their Python counterparts as well as 2× faster than the existing hand-optimized C++ implementations

It seems it's better to think of this particular claim as "we made a C++ algorithm that is 2x faster than the previous SotA C++ algorithm" (with the help of a heavily optimized DSL).
