The benchmark has several big flaws, and shouldn't be taken seriously at least for the Neo4j side.
Otherwise what Jim said on your GH issue:
Jim Webber: I think vendor benchmarks aren't worth the paper they're written on. This one doesn't even distinguish between caching results (neo4j doesn't) and query plans (it certainly does). Their setup of neo4j is (deliberately?) naive too. On the whole, my position is that they need to prove themselves in the marketplace and not on their blog.
As you can probably imagine, we don't have the capacity to help other vendors with their benchmarks or teaching them about Neo4j basics.
Usually, we recommend that people interested in Neo4j take their own data and model & import into the Neo4j property graph and run their own use-cases against them. We're glad to help real projects to be successful and happy with their Neo4j use, which seems to work very well so far.
If you're interested in learning more about Neo4j feel free to join our London user group and come to one of our frequent events.
Cheers, Michael
