No code, no benchmarks. This seems to be a purely theoretical paper from what little i can gather (pretty much gave up reading it).

So we basically don't know if this algorithm is actually faster on modern processor architectures than the old one and under which circumstances. In most algos these days, you have to optimize for a time/space tradeoff. For example:

Without testing with real world hardware and data, it's hard, if not nearly impossible, to tell how well an algorithm will perform and what tradeoffs can be made under which circumstances to optimize it.
