Thank you very much for your time and the test results.

You were absolutely right to question the numbers. I've realized there were
some flaws in the previous benchmark logic that led to those inconsistent
ratios. I am sincerely sorry for the confusion this may have caused.

I am currently refining the implementation for v3 to ensure much more
accurate and reliable measurements. I'll send out the updated series
once it's ready.

Thanks again for helping me catch this!
