People probably flagged it cause people hate benchmarks / dont trust them. I think they at least give us some indication about things on the other hand.
This is the official continuous techempower benchmark, run by techempower on the exact same environment than the techempower "official rounds". The only diff I'm aware of is that there is more manual review and check for rounds than for continuous benchmarks. Here is more info about it here:
We have already seen tremendous social adoption of the continuous benchmarking results. For selfish reasons, we want to continue creating and posting official rounds such as today's Round 16 periodically. (Mostly so that we can use the opportunity to write a blog entry and generate hype!) We ask that you humor us and treat official rounds as the super interesting and meaningful events that they are.
Jokes aside, the continuous results are intended for contributors to the project. The official rounds are less-frequent snapshots suitable for everyone else who may find the data interesting.
