a three-fold improvement
Ordinarily, "выигрыш" gets translated as "increase" or "gain." However, if it's clear that the approach used decreases the number of numerical operations and "выигрыш" is the word used to characterize it, then it must be a good thing . . .

Ellen, I would just go with the Russian grammar and say "a three-fold improvement in the number of numerical operations." The wider context might lead you to a different wording, of course.
My first thought was that it indicated an increase in a computer's number-crunching capability, but your clarification suggests that the improvement is algorithmic -- an area where the Russians have excelled.

Sorry, I should have address that comment to Nik -- I didn't scroll up far enough.

allows for a three-fold increase from the number of numerical operations
It seems that the three-fold increase is in the efficiency, not in the number of operations, hence - new answer.

triples
This approach triples the number of numerical operations...
With this approach, it is possible to triple...
This approach makes it possible to triple...
(Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't understand the advantage of expressions with "three-fold", when we're going in the positive direction and we're not talking about % increases. But all the "three-fold" suggestions make me nervous, so I'm only putting confidence level of 3.)

Note after Nik-On/Off's explanation that the improvement is a decrease (which should have been obvious, I guess): I think that's all the more reason to avoid "three-fold." Probably there are a few ways:
This approach improves the number of numerical operations by a factor of three.
This approach makes it possible to reduce the number of numerical operations by two-thirds.
This approach makes it possible to economize on the number of numerical operations by a factor of three [by two-thirds].

| Rachel, the number of operations was descreased, not increased. That's the problem |
Something went wrong...
