What you're saying is that comparing the existing build time to the new one, the existing one is about 70% slower. You can also phrase it as comparing the new build time to the existing one, it's about 42% faster.

Both are true statements, however people generally like to discuss how much improved the new releases are versus how much worse the old ones are.

Fun fact, it's important to understand that relationship in other areas as well like the stock market; if your holdings lose 50% of their value, they then need to increase by 100% for you to be back neutral :)
