The heading, "Python: faster way" doesn't suggest that to me.
And when I see comments like https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8814309 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8814309 I feel I'm not the only one who came to conclusion that the first column was meant to be the fastest.
And how should the reader judge the significance of timing differences without knowing any variance or spreading of the measurements?
Maybe some short headings like "80% faster", "no significant difference" would make things clearer. Or color coding.
