This Hacker News thread discusses iText's improved table rendering speed. A commenter reminisces about using iText 20 years ago, noting its continued relevance. Another user points out that the title was changed to remove the claim of "95% faster" rendering, arguing that the original title was more informative about the scale of the improvement. A moderator explains that removing specific numbers from titles is standard practice to avoid baity titles and discussions focused on the accuracy of the numbers, particularly when the claimed improvements might be based on specific, unusual conditions. They argue that a more general title, like "faster," allows the article itself to demonstrate the improvement's magnitude. However, some believe the specific improvement percentage is important context for the nature of the update.
