The ratio between 1 ns and 1 ms is a million.

The link talks about nano- vs micro-seconds, so probably just a typo.

I just re-ran the benchmarks and I was mis-remembering those statistics quite a bit. It looks like C# takes 124.5 nanoseconds on average for a hash set lookup. This was benchmarked using BenchmarkDotNet :)
