I suspect this is comparing against default Wine without fsync or esync (which are included with Proton and some wine builds) but from memory, ntsync has better compatibility and some performance gains over fsync (the next fastest alternative). But don't expect 50% performance gains compared to fsync in most workloads.

Any bit of improvement is good in my book, though I agree that the title is a bit misleading.

Its indeed on average 50%.. in some games.. Sometimes only 5% while in other cases even 150%.

Yep, and most people are already using fsync anyways via proton/lutris/etc. so the gain is a bit misleading.
