Doubling the speed is an optimization, room for 30x speed means there is something very wrong. That means it is only an optimization compared to yourself. Even porting something from javascript to C++ should only give a 10x speedup. If one version of hardware to the next was a 30x improvement, the first version would be considered completely broken.
