Your thoughts are absolutely right.
The only thing you are missing here is the iteration count, which is basically a factor which determines how long it takes to hash a single candidate (you can see the iteration count e.g. in the benchmark Mem5 posted). The iteration count tells us how often a password is hashed, before it is actually saved / used and this count may vary for every wallet.dat you encouter. So it is possible that it's lower than 199999, so you get better speeds than the one in the benchmark, or it is higher so you get worse speeds.
