They are benchmarking with tasks that burns the CPU, like computing and
bitmapping Mandelbrot sets and processing DNA data.
It is also the kind of tasks where NumPy would help. It would

It's possible that in the cases where Lua wins, the Lua code is not

for which Lua's default implementation may be efficient.
Note - not Lua's default implementation but
