I can't recall a thread based on this but if there has been than my bad in advance.
This has been speculated on several times by members I'm sure, and I believe Schierke herself speculated on whether it is true or not when she first saw his abilities against the Trolls in volume 25, but what I want to know if it's actually been stated as fact that living in the Interstice has increased his superhuman abilities.
So aside being forced into constant training through fighting every night with spirits tirelessly trying to kill him, the brands ability to guide him to Apostles quicker than without it thus forcing him to fight harder and more consistently, the continuing experience or the Berserker armour, has he actually become stronger from living in the Interstice for such a long time?
We know he was using the Dragonslayer against the beast who first tried to kill him shortly after the Eclipse, though it's safe to assume that in the few years he has been using the Dragonslayer did not stop his abilities with a sword to improve beyond belief (eg being able to fight Zodd in volume 22 by swinging such a heavy weapon so quickly Rickert admits to not being able to keep up with his eyes.
Lets face it Guts upgrades the size of his sword quiet dramatically even for him after the Eclipse and finds himself very aquired to it, so I guess I would like to believe that such a big difference in power to follow shortly afterward the Eclipse would be because the Interstices power.
