Perhaps.

But the page you refer to is (unfortunately) not dated, except for a 
mention of a year 2020 result from INRIA. Lemire's blog post is from 2017.

Besides, the quotation on Lemire's blog entry is not found here. Two 
search engines don't know about the quotation either, except for 
Lemire's blog.
