What you seem not to have noticed on the homepage is the links "LuaJIT" and
"Lua" - you'll find them in the Z to A.

You'll find that they are always shown on the homepage.

You'll find that they always link to measurements made on either on x64 one core
or x86 one core.

They do that because no one's contributed programs for Lua that make use of
multicore.
