If you work out a way to model the performance of your own systems based on these benchmarks, then on the way you will discover what is wrong with them. Or switch to Urweb for all your future sites, I guess?
If you want to make your chosen platform fast you can see what they're doing in the src to get those results. The ones not marked "stripped" and with "full" for ORM are very realistic examples. Not sure where you're going with this? Nobody's real workload looks exactly like benchmarks.
