In the comments the guy says the hardware the benchmark was running on had 3TB of RAM.

That's not average hardware. It's a couple hundred connections max running select statements as fast as possible on the best hardware they could afford to test against.

That doesn't translate into your CRUD app handling a million requests per second.
