That webpage references "JSMeter: Characterizing Real-World Behavior of JavaScript Programs".
iirc they instrumented a web browser to collect "real-world" data and demontrated that wasn't like the behavior of benchmark code.
That webpage references "A comparison of three programming languages for a full-fledged next-generation sequencing tool" — "reimplemented … in all three languages and benchmarked their runtime performance and memory use."
That's in-practice.

Performance doesn't matter until it matters.
As-in the home page quote and reference — "It's important to be realistic: most people don't care about program performance most of the time."
