Here are some (hopefully) accurate numbers that blow my weekend mind:
Object arrival speed: 25.5 km/s
Object departure speed: 44 km/s
It got a 72.5 % boost from that slingshot around the sun. I knew this is how things end up going fast, but that is a lot! Makes me want to know how it ended up going that fast, and how many other meetings with stars it had to have. But without knowing what got it going in the first place, that would be hard.

Hey, can Kerbal Space Program reproduce this orbit? I really need to get KSP...
Welp: it wasn't that fast. Turns out the Helios probes hold the spacecraft record at 70.22 km/s... Or a quarter million km/h. Or Mach 205.71. Take that, um, visitors. ;-)
Edit: And Helios hit 0.0002357 times the speed of light.
I don't know what those speeds mean. For example slingshot around Jupiter does not change speed of a satellite relative to Jupiter. Speed will change relative to Sun, Earth, Pluto,... So slingshot around the Sun does not increase speed relative to Sun. For example a star and a rock are coming 10 km/s towards the Sun from same direction. A rock goes around the Sun and back to direction it come from. It will have very high speed when close to Sun, but speed will drop to back 10 km/s when far away. It was rest relative to that star. Now it is traveling 20 km/s towards it.
Escape velocity - Wikipedia
Escape v from Sun at Earths orbit is 42.1 km/s, From Mars orbit 34.1 km/s. If a rock is at rest far away from the Sun and starts falling towards the Sun, it will have speed 34.1 km/s at orbit of Mars, 42.1 km/s Earth, 67.7 km/s at Mercury.
