What is the significance of this?

Are there any examples demonstrating the kind of flaws this fixes?

Follow the link and the first paragraph clearly explains the benefits.

I have read that link, but I also want to know of any real-life
examples where it makes a difference.

Have you come across any such problems in your own everyday work
because of the existing reader implementation?

People are always complaining that Emacs is slow.  A speedup in the
reader should be noticeable at startup when many Lisp libraries are
often read.
