I would say it goes back to the core of the disruptor technology which essentially provides a different realization of a queue concept trough a ring buffer which is array based (not java Queue implementations). I am assuming mailboxes in Akka are Queue based and for high throughput cases Queues do introduce significant latency. I've observed similar (some times much greater) performance gains when experimented with the idea of the disruptor-based Queue channel in spring integration. There are also cache line trickery there with long padding, but that's a whole other topic.
