Anything that's quite self-contained is fast; anything that needs to look up and read lots of files is slow.

Do SSDs magically fix this?

The test was done with a warmed cache, so SSDs would make no difference, the files were read from RAM cache.

They reduce the IO burden, but not to the level to compete.
