Shakti themselves used rows as the comparison metric in the original link: https://shakti.com/database-software-history/

Again, saying the speed of k is unrivaled is hype speak. You're adding negative value to the discussion.

To give you an idea, here are some benchmarks comparing Python (with pandas/numpy) vs k (aka q/kdb+).

I think that software history page is meant to convey general workloads achievable, rather than performance.
