One HTTP connection, one request, one response, connection closed.

I admit I didn't first see that they actually don't do any i/o over those connections.

Well, you know, handling x accepts() per second and holding onto y fds is even less than nothing to be proud of.

So yeah, those are generally considered to be requests per second. Apples and oranges.
