Expected performance

If you scroll back, you can find that it took nearly half a second to generate the results on the CPU. How good is the speed and should we expect an increase?

According to the MXNet GitHub page, you should get approximately 150 images/second when running on a single K80 GPU. There is not much you can do when running it on a CPU except choose a smaller network, such as MobileNet.
