I don't have to... He admits he slanted the test in the first paragraph.
He's basically trying to benchmark the kernel as directly as possible, taking any normal slowdowns out of the equation. Again, he admits this. I don't have to prove anything.
Got a tip for us?

he did not slant it those are your words
this is what he said
wow imagine talking about a kernel in 64 or 32 and trying to keep it to the kernel !!!
and also many photographers do use raids

It simply isn't average use. He's eliminating disk latency as a consideration, and if you had average disk latency, the scores would be much much much closer. Disk latency is much more important of a factor than kernel speeds. It's just simply not realistic for most users.
With regards to most photographers using RAID, it would have to be an internal RAID or an ESATA RAID to see this sort of improvement. It's just simply not realistic for 99% of users.
since it is about the OS in 64 though vs 32 it makes sense to try to keep it about that ?
this was not a test of how drive choice figures into things ? thats a whole other thing
