Re: Hardspell's interesting article on the video encoding saying E8400 is "only" 33.37% faster than a Celeron E1200 in video encoding?

Completes in 33.37% less time which is about 66.6% of the slow time but does about 1.5x the amount of work per minute (9/6=1.5). So we could also say the E8400 is 50% faster which doesn't sound as dramatic as "only" 33.37%.
