making the Seawolf silent speed of 25 knots and doubling the Kilo endurance

I always wondered what makes the Seawolve so silent. I think the big jump in silent speed should indicate a major revolution in submarine design. Is there something revolutionary in the machinery of the Seawolve? If it is realy "just" the pump-jet then it is strange that the Trafalgar is not famous for a very high silent speed aswell.
