From their white-paper apparently DBMS systems spend 35% of their time doing buffer management, 17% doing logging, another 19% doing latching and finally 21% doing locking. This leaves only 7% for "useful work". In comparison, VoltDB has 95% capacity for useful work.

Reads even more like marketing blogspam!

Why do you think it is blogspam? You can also read the H-Store papers if you're interested in the details.
