This is not the only database product that is poorly configured for peak performance on Azure. Even their managed offering for their own Analysis Services OLAP database, Azure Analysis Services, is handily beaten by an IaaS instance with a better CPU, running SQL Server Analysis Services (the same database as part of SQL Server licensing). The database engine loves high clock speeds, but in testing, the top tier managed offering runs similar to what I've seen on mid-2GHz server CPUs.
