Can you explain the 5x difference between physical and virtualized benchmarks here:

As the other commenter mentioned, the machines have completely different setups so I don't think you can make any comparative judgment.

I also don't work on Azure which is used in that benchmark, and the link I provided was specifically about benchmarking AWS.
