I was following this last night because it's hilarious. Last I checked, there were three likely causes for the "performance boost" (or some combination thereof):
1) You have to restart the phone to activate the patch. Many users might not have restarted in ages, and this alone would cause a good performance gain.
2) The patch is keeping the CPU from idling by constantly writing to /dev/random. This gives you better performance at the detriment of battery life.
