If you increase the speed 100%, then the elapsed time is cut by 50%.

This is a grammar school concept. It does not require an ivy league physics 
degree to understand. It is not obfuscated, confusing, or misleading. It doesn't 
rely on some rarely known "formal" definition of speed. I expect an audience of 
programmers to understand it without needing a sidebar.

We talk about speed of programs all the time, including compiler speed. I 
previously posted google searches you can try to verify it for yourself.

I.e. I'm being trolled here :-)
