Base rate of progression is what is important. Itachi peaked in this regard, granted he had an incurable plot disease. Minato hadn't peaked, as he still had ways to go with rasengan and SM. Orochimaru as well.

Comparatively we have to acknowledge certain inherent and given advantages. It's quite obvious that Itachi's rate of progression was enhanced by the sharingan and MS. While Minato's and Orochimaru's had no such thing.
