Indeed, the bound of O(n log n) on integer multiplication was broken by 2^-182 in the results, and that improvement has already been improved, step by step, all the way to 2^-15 (unpublished and unverified, so far). It's hard not to hold the original limit break causally responsible for the rest of it, though. If someone clocked a particle doing 299,792,500m/s, and it wasn't due to instrument error, that would justifiably be regarded as a giant leap in understanding.
