Yes. And you should know it, because the introduction mentions it quite broadly.

That's not what I was referring to with "faster (lower CPU load)". It means the cryptographic part
of the transformation happens faster, because AES is usually hardware accelerated on modern processors.
Of course that doesn't say if it's faster, if your HW acceleration doesnt's support the different operations
that make up AES-GCM.
