The usage of percentages in the article is wrong. 6 is not 150% faster than 4.

Yeah, this error is made consistently throughout the article and the author should fix it. It serves to inflate the project's performance by as much as two-thirds, and some people will see this as intentionally misleading and write your project off because of it. ultrajson looks to be way faster; don't alienate people by fudging the numbers.

Author here. Thanks for pointing this out. I wrote this article long back and forgot about it. I have made the changes .

50% would be a bit closer.

6 = 1.5 * 4. I'm not seeing the problem.

[icebraining]

"150% faster" implies the speed is 2.5 times, not 1.5.

[L-four]

speed = speed * 1.5 Is not the same as speed += speed * 1.5
