If you want to debug the metrics they're using, you're more than welcome to do it. I've got plenty of direct experience to question the results shown by a random webpage on the internet, and not much incentive to figure out why this particular set of benchmarks looks wrong. A quick inspection of the tests suggests a high enough bogon count that it already begins to confirm my suspicions: there's a "fasta-redux" test for Perl which dramatically outperforms the "fasta" test that's implemented cross-language. Also, many of these tests are written in least-common-denominator style, which doesn't reflect the way the languages are actually used.
