Looks like it was a design contest not a benchmark to me. Surprise, surprise, the team that personally designs a DBMS has the best performing DBMS. The second place winner, Alexander Burger, is the author of the solution he used: Pico LISP. The third place team, MonetDB, used their solution, MonetDB. The results tell me that people who write databases can write good apps that use those same databases.
