The LMDB statistics are very strange - why is synchronous SSD performance worse on most figures than HDD performance?
Could it be that most database engines are based on algorithms that were developed before SSDs were significant, and were extremely optimized for HDD performance?

No. Most database engines are actually so old they were developed even before HDD hit the seek wall.
