I think we might want to add a grain of salt to that part of the
announcement. People shouldn't expect radically improved performance
for, say, programs using the math library. It gets better in some
cases, but I feel like we need something that's a bit more uniformly
better before saying too much.

So I would either say nothing, or I would add some more qualifications
or specificity or something.
