Where exactly did they claim this?

They are very old claims, at least I think the John Carmack one is.  I can't find very many newer claims by either of them.

Never mind about John Carmack, his most recent statements that I can find say the opposite.

 

Yes, times have changed. DirectX matured a lot over the last couple of years, although of course is not perfect. But it is a nice tool for game developers offering a quite complete solution for gaming purposes.

OpenGL is not bad either, though. But saying it is faster is simply not true.
