Also the header "The honest benchmarks" is an irritating LLM style. And all the commas! So many commas and short sentences! E.g: "Same database, same machine. The only difference is the write pattern.". It's so bad I thought someone might be copying LLM style, because the writing seems so stilted.
Well, this is sad.
