Why is there *any* surprise at this?
Users are doing very different things, with very different plugins etc. and who knows what actual performance metric is important to them. Time to open a session? Time to to bounce disk? How many plugins they can have instantiated? How small a buffer size they can track at? That's all comparing apples, oranges, petunias, and elephant seals.
This is a complex system, it is a complete fallacy that you have a simple figure of merit and can rank all systems according to that.
Focus on finding somebody doing what is important to you, or test yourself, beg borrow or steal, or buy a system (with chance to return/upgrade) if you have to.
