You are mixing operations per second and keys per second and those aren't the same.

In BSGS with a precalculated set of 100 million keys, you only need to do a single operation ( publcikey subtraction) to determine if a key is in some 100 million keys right, that is 1 single operation but it give you a speed of 100 million keys / time, that is the difference, while bsgs do some thousands of subtraction per second (operations) it will give you some petakeya/s (speed) it is different way to measure it.
