It's a double joke. For programmers, it's pretty useless unless your in high performance computing.

If you're on the nitty gritty OS or CPU itself, 0.02% optimization can mean significant improvememt of different things but because it is otherwise unitless, it is equally useless to the reader.

“In a .02%” is nonsensical. They meant “by”. So it’s just a fail, not a joke.
