Actually, I think it’s in the fine print here…
“Connection setup is 1.4 times faster”. I can believe that NAT adds almost 40%
overhead to the connection setup (3-way handshake) and some
of the differences in packet handling in the fast path between v4 and v6 could
contribute the small remaining difference.
I doubt it is due to different connections, since we’re talking about
measurements against dual-stack sites reached from dual-stack end-users,
very likely traversing similar paths.
40% in isolation is pretty meaningless. If it's 40% of .1% overall it's
called a rounding error.
