"The block level write performance at almost 19mb/s is quite impressive." Why is this impressive?

Because .. Intel (and CIA / NSA / USA DoD relationships FTW).

Raspberry Pi is not much better: "you will not much exceed 20 MB/s (read or write) on the pi's SD card bus"

By my calculation, 20MB/s is 9.47 times 19mb/s.

wouldn't mb be millibits and MB be megabytes? So that would be 1/1000th of a bit versus 1,000,000 bytes.. which leads to at least 8 x10^9th which bc says makes the Pi 1052631578.947 times faster than the Edison :). Of course at millibits/sec you are looking at 4.5 bytes per day.... snails might be faster.
