Yes, and Domas was criticizing that as a strawman; as comparing apples to oranges. Since they tailor their defaults to different criteria (e.g. different standards of durability), of course they will perform differently.
The only really valid benchmarks are when you get an expert in each to tune their respective products to optimize for a specific scenario, and see how outperforms who. And then make public exactly what configuration was done to get there.
