Is Lumia 950 speed improved from these days? I mean, do six months of OS optimization and refinement changed something?

This test is embarrassing.
Thanks.

I don't think that video is a fair representation of the phone and its performance in real-world use. I mean, when was the last time you rapidly opened multiple apps in a row like that without actually using them, and had a stopwatch running and/or were doing the same thing on other phones for comparison? Obviously even the tiniest variations in speed, resulting from differences in the hardware specs, background processes, app design and optimisation etc., are going to add up when racing through activities in such an artificial manner.
That said, Windows 10 Mobile has received a ton of updates since the Lumia 950 and 950 XL were released, as listed in Ram Raj's answer. If you check the changelogs (e.g. on Wikipedia), there are multiple mentions of performance improvements, both in specific apps and aspects of the OS, as well as to the overall user experience.
Additionally, as a Lumia 950 owner I can testify that my phone has indeed become faster and more stable compared to the out-of-the-box experience at the end of 2015 when I got it.
Hope this helps alleviate your concerns.

What am trying to say is that , Microsoft has constantly been providing updates so as to bring better speed, usability. If you have more recent speed comparison video, please post it in comments section.
