Caching is part of the FSFS backend. One would assume that a key-value
database like BDB would have its own cache, which is therefore
implicitly part of the BDB back-end. I don't see how you could construe
these numbers as skewed.

As Lieven says -- FSFS has been steadily improving while BDB was
standing still these last 6 years. IMO, if there were enough users of
the BDB back-end to matter, we'd have been given incentive (through bad
language on users@ ...) to do more than just keep the back-end limping
along to make the testsuite work.
