Generic benchmarks are dumb. They stress just a few points of the system, you can't assert that the test case was well written, you are not sure that caching on the framework was enabled, or even configured, there's a lot of variables involved to assure that you are extracting the most in performance from a framework/language that you just don't know on those generic benchmarks.
If you want to compare performance, do it yourself, don't believe someone else's benchmarks. Write a test case that is suitable for your reality, then go for a conclusion.
