Could you specify more? If you mean SunSpider (2007) or V8/Octane, I have some well-known bones to pick. These have sucked up a lot (not all) of the oxygen available for the brain cells developers and casually interested parties use to track "JS performance", but due to a who's-on-first effect, not just because "benchmarks".

IOW, good luck making new strict-mode benchmarks that displace these.

Also, good luck getting SunSpider or V8/Octane to enable "use strict"! Paging Dr. Rossberg on the latter :-P.

Benchmarks won't cut it if there's no organic developer pressure.

That is not the behavior I've observed in response to benchmarks,
either among JS implementors, or in the industry as a whole. Developer
pressure and actual usage patterns *should* trump benchmarks. What
I've generally seen is the opposite.
