Please read the original paper and base your comments on the repo that the authors provided.
Like you, most readers haven't seen the paper.
Like you, most readers have only seen "Table 4. Normalized global results for Energy, Time, and Memory" taken out-of-context (often without any way to find the original source).
Most readers notice the too-large differences C/C++ and JS/TS and start speculating about how those differences were caused (because that's fun).
I went back to the time measurements the authors provided and calculated the Mean, Geometric Mean and Median. Simply using a more appropriate summary statistic would have presented average values which readers would have found acceptable:
JS 7.25 times slower than C
TS 7.8 times slower than C
:even though they were based on different programs and included an outlier. (Similar story with C/C++.)
