That's a different article by the same author, Ken Shirriff

Yes - I was just trying to give things a "this is interesting, so upvote & discuss!" kick. In the absence of Ken popping up with good "Author here for your 8087 questions" comment.
I guess he didn't pop up because the article is 6 years old.
