I wonder how this benchmark would look like without the worst case algorithm implementation for each language. 

Another thing that worries me is the bad propaganda of such results given tests might have issues, as mentioned.

I have a hard time phantoming what could cause that Lua memory result.

Also, in big data centres, where thousands of machines are running the
same code, power consumption (and heat dispersal) are important issues
that make these sorts of benchmarks useful.

I'll echo the question about how good this particular paper is at
measuring these things.
