@kirby strongly doubting that tbh, benchmarks are a useful tool but do not reflect reality.

e.g., they just backported my work to refactor Rich Media (link previews) because every page of posts you requested would hang while it tried to find the link previews for each post with a URL in it. If CNN.com was running slow, the timeline would hang until that HTTP request timed out.

This is something that cannot be measured by that benchmark. I do not trust it.
