The benchmark you are refering to can't be repeated, was not open source and was very likely wrongly conducted.
You can find some comments about this at:

There are also some open source (repeatable) benchmark results at:

and
http://acidlab.sourceforge.net/perf/acid_perf.html
That tells a completely different story.
