This is more than a year old and the hardware this was tested on wasn't even that exceptional when it was released 7 years ago. I'm kind of assuming that the tester did something strange for BTRFS in particular because his results disagree with every other benchmark out there. Using BTRFS on top of software RAID 10 is also inappropriate as this should be done by creating a filesystem containing all four devices.
That being said I'd love to see more benchmarks of BTRFS compared to other filesystems and on hardware that isn't so archaic. I think it's safe to say that this article is not representative of reality as Phoronix has tons of benchmarks that all don't have nearly this big of difference between BTRFS and Ext4. Here's an article that's even more outdated than the parent and it still shows BTRFS performing acceptably across the board.
