Wikipedia says it's going from 2NlogN to N. If a sort is massively
dominated by the comparison, that could give a speedup of up to 100%
(approximately - dropping the logN factor is almost irrelevant, what
counts is losing that factor of 2).

In fact it's the other way - losing a factor of 2 is irrelevant, O(2N)=O(N). The logN factor is crucial here.
