speed-ups
Gains in pace
Speed-ups are increases in pace or acceleration of a process.
The term appears most often in workplace and technical contexts: The assembly line speed-ups led to more injuries.
In computing, speed-ups measure performance improvements after optimization: The new algorithm produced a tenfold speed-up.
Also spelled speedups.
