Developer of tantivy chiming in! (I hope that's ok) Database performance is a space where there are a lot of lies and bullshit, so you are 100% right to be suspicious.

I don't know SeekStorm's team and I did not dig much into the details, but my impression so far is that their benchmark's results are fair. At least I see no reason not to trust them.

Also we are working on some performance improvements based on the benchmark comparison, as they highlighted some areas we can improve in tantivy.
