Yeah, it is really too bad that the timing of their interesting and important research corresponded to a dot Oh! As you describe Mark, 8.1 already includes at least one significant performance fix related to the new day light saving calculation code.
Also, of interest is how more operations can be done “in place”, like comment moderation and editing without a page load.
Anyway, very interesting report and a good spur for continued work in this area!
The Updates since 2.65 have added loads of new features and made WordPress powerful but cumbersome, I use GD Press Tools and have Gears installed which does help, maybe the admin interface should make a move to the desktop – AIR app anyone?
An avid fan of business, education, technology and finance. I lead a lean, highly focussed and capable team of Java Back End developers and Front End developers through a maze of complex software wizardry to fulfill the web maintenance needs of a large chemical manufacturer. As per Myers-Briggs Personality Types, I am an ESTJ. I pride in a project completed on time and according to plan. My hobbies include all kinds of technology, anything that I can taste and anything that goes fast or flies in the air. I like to read business books and comics in my spare time.

I’d love to see their results with/without the Turbo (Gears) feature in use as well.
I have published part 2 of the benchmarking focusing on the blog pages:
