There is no such thing as "200% better" time. If an operation takes a second, "100% better" means that it now completes instantly, thus with 200% the operation completes a second before it's started. Congratulations, you have invented a time machine.

While you can be 200% worse, i.e. take three times as long, the inverse of that would be 67% better.

I didn't write "better time", I wrote "perform more than 200% better". The amount of data transmitted per unit time can indeed improve by 200%.
