Interesting thing about faster distance calculations is that a very small change in the dot product calculation makes code compile to much more efficient CPU instructions and up to 2 times speedup for the whole algo.
But the real jewel in the crown is HNSW support that makes pgvector much faster than the competitors (the measurements with thorough and transparent description of method are in the linked blog post).
