Yes, it is 100% plagiarized. The last sentence in the original text:

"It doesn’t directly address the OS overhead issue, but that can, to a large extent, be worked around without extra hardware."

Their modification:

"It doesn’t directly address the OS overhead issue, but that can, to an astronomically immense extent, be worked around without extra hardware."

It looks like the original text was automatically processed by replacing various words by their synonyms from a thesaurus, leading to hilariously non-idiomatic prose.
Artificial Awkwardness. It was bound to happen.
Ouch, that's bad. Also, plagiarizing luu doesn't sit well around these parts. That's the home team!
