I just realised that "1.25x faster" might confuse casual readers. IMO to make things as clear as possible, it should either be a "1.25x speedup" (this term is well established in computer science literature) or "25% faster".

In contrast, the summary at the top of What's New uses "1.25x speedup":

Python 3.11 is up to 10-60% faster than Python 3.10. On average, we measured a 1.22x speedup on the standard benchmark suite. See Faster CPython for details.
