  ... improvements around 25% compared to AV1

  AV2 decoding is roughly five times more complex than AV1 decoding
I'm not sure what these two lines mean or if we can compare them, any help?

I understood it as compression is 25% better : a quality of 10mbps in av1 can be achieved with 8mbps in Av2. But, it needs 5 times more compute power for this 25% gain.

AV2 saves 25% bandwidth at the cost of 5x more decoding complexity.

Smaller files but harder to decode
