Stupid question -- best wording to state an improvement in efficiency if my fix took required job hours from 40 to 4.

is that a 90% improvement in efficiency? I know it's a 90% reduction, but does that work in reverse?

  - never mind. I see my mistake now. 90% faster, 1000% more efficient is right. -- nm - mafic Aug 26, 19:41
- Is sarcastic quite the right word for that? -- nm - Beryllium Aug 26, 19:39
- Yeah, that's why I wouldn't use that wording. It sounds exaggerated. -- nm - David Aug 26, 19:38
