The mergesort is roughly 100x faster than the bubblesort was. I made no claim in that tweet about the overall speedup.
(But since you mention it, when I started working on speeding up the boot process, the kernel took about 10 seconds to boot, so I have a kernel booting about 400x faster now than I did a few years ago.)
