so why do RAM timings keep getting slower? in this article it mentions 2-2-2 timing, but currently all high performance RAM is 9-9-9 or higher?

As memory speeds are getting faster the timings are loosening, with the newer platforms the frequency is making more difference to performance than the tighter timings. Running the timings as tight as possible still helps at a given frequency, but getting to the higher frequency has more impact.
Some of the older kits with decent timings still work well on the newer platforms though.
