Not three orders of magnitude faster, which is the difference between hdd and ssd random writes.

All of the source code is available on that page, you're welcome to rerun it on your own hardware configuration.
Three orders of magnitude faster would mean 1000x faster. You probably meant 3 times faster.
SSDs really are 1000x faster at random writes (~200,000 iops vs ~200 iops)
