What I want to know is why the fuck it takes 8 days to load 700MM records—in 2024.

I couldn’t even continue reading the article because it must be from 2006.

700M records in 8 days (1024 rps) is to mimic a real-world transactional (OLTP) workload. It doesn't define limits on what throughput can be achieved.
Ahhh. Thank you. That makes more sense.
