SIMD - compressing has gotten faster, but (assuming OP is correct rather than just missing info) the reference algorithm didn't have room to take advantage of SIMD. The relevant improvements since 2010 or so mostly look like bandwidth improvements not latency, and coincide with increasing ubiquity of SIMD instructions and SIMD-friendly algorithms.
