Notice in the image the the purple (baseline confirmation) progress segments (non-vertical portions) are MUCH steeper than the green (new confirmation). This shows how much faster is the totally-ordered portion of the confirmation. You can see that its slope is slightly shallower than archive, even toward the end. Archive doesn't perform any query, so is largely independent of table size, but confirmation is driven by query, so this is great.
