Well the chart that is being pulled is referencing an SSD as opposed to your standard hard drive. Early model SSD's had big problems with write operations, so disabling noatime helped them a lot. I don't think you'd see the same level of improvement with a regular sata/sas drive.

In some situations - like serving a bajillion small files - noatime can increase your performance though.
