The definition of inversly proportional is when the product of one variable is directly proportional with the reciprocal of the other.

In the speed, build time equation the speed is always directly proportional with the reciprocal of the build time.
The point I was trying to make was that if the ratio is directly proportional, in a linear progression, as you keep insisting, then you have provided for the possibility of

increase in speed of 100%:10% faster construction
increase in speed of 200%:20% faster construction
increase in speed of 300%:30% faster construction...

which is clearly impossible because the result would be

increase in speed of 800%:80% faster construction
increase in speed of 900%:95% faster construction
increase in speed of 1000%:100% faster construction...

which as we have previously determined is a ZERO build time AND you have the possibility of NEGATIVE build times....

there for the ratio cannot be "merely" an inverse proportion... one of your terms MUST be a geometric progression of some sort....

either the % faster construction must grow towards...

99%;99.9%;99.99%;99.999%

or the increase in speed must grow towards ∞

100%;200%;400%;800%

which, as I have been hinting towards, is a inverse geometric proportion...its a subtle but distinct and very important difference, particularly since you KEEP insisting that the relationship MUST be inverse.
