It appears that the reported numbers for benchmark X are _the # of times that X can be run before one second elapses_, so parent comment is correct and the premise of the blogpost (that the new node.js version with V8 has worse performance than the earlier version / the private fork has better performance than the new version and slightly worse performance than the old) is contradicted by the evidence presented.
Not a good way to look competent, posting something like this. Countdown until edit or takedown...
