It's not just the disk store, also avoiding the time spent locking and unlocking in row-based architectures (i.e. using lock-free algorithms) http://www.se-rad

  "...single-threaded, lock-free, doesn’t require disk I/O in the critical path, ..." IIRC, the single-threadedness is made possible in large part by not having I/O on the critical path. (When you wait on I/O, a single threaded design stalls completely, so either you multi-thread somehow or your throughput dies). :-)
