I wondered what was represented by the numbers in that table, since it was included in the article without context. The differences are so big that I expected them to be something low-level like number of sync operations per second.

Nope. Digging up the original patch set from a year ago reveals that those numbers are frames per second. This is an impressive improvement for some games.

      It does, in fact the current version of the wine patch is incompatible with fsync and esync, at least in wine-tkg. Which makes sense since it supersedes both (does the same thing in a more correct and more performant way).
