Many benchmarks have no TS implementations, TS/JS results are about the same except for fannkuch-redux which is about a zillion times slower in the TS implementation. When looking at that kind of massive discrepancy in similar languages with the same runtime, the guess kbenson made was a perfectly sensible one. The authors of the study should have examined that kind of crazy outlier more closely and it's, as pointed out, not that unusual when using the benchmark game as a starting point.
