That comparison is irrelevant because words have meaning based on the context they’re used in.
English, being a very complex language, can have the same sentence mean multiple things as well depending on how you interpret the context. There may be better ways to phrase something to remove ambiguity, but the title as presented could be read both ways.
OP changed the submission title after this first comment was written. It used to say MLX was "much faster" without any point of comparison. It has since been edited to what it is now.
"A fire built around a wad of kerosene soaked rags starts instantly."
Does that sentence suggest that kerosene starts rags to you, or that kerosene soaked rags help start fires instantly?
