OK, my fault was to assume you wanted to measure only your part, while
apparently you meant overall savings. But Tom had asked for separate
measurements if I understood him correctly. Also, that measurement of
your change would go after the O(N^2) fix. It could actually turn out
to be much more than 9% because the overall time would be reduced even
more dramatic. So it might actually be good for your fix to wait a
bit. ;-)

Kind regards
