It's the outcome of good architecture, application code, and the fact that single row lookups are already just as fast as a cache, especially in SQL Server running on highend hardware.

By the way, 200M is less than 2500 requests/second which is not much at all. In terms of actual throughput, they are not that big.

They're also not all full page loads either. Their stats show only 66M of those 200M are pageviews.
