I think there is a difference. The benchmark you showed have no flow control. the receiver actor mailbox will always have message. So, Mailbox.run() will only resubmit itself when throughput is met(1024 in the test case).
So, take the throughput number from the benchmark "8,189,290 ops/s", there will be only around 8000 executorService.execute(mbox) For a system with flow control, Mailbox.run() is more likely to finish before throughput setting is met. And there will be far more executorService.execute(mbox) be called.
