According to the footnote he tested with pypy 1.9. There was just a post here a day or two ago that pypy 2.3.1 was release. Seems like one should at least use the latest version when testing. Pypy 1.9 was release 2 years ago.

Yes, but am quite happy and impressed to see how well Pypy is holding up.

Something that I have learned about reading benchmarks is to pay attention to who is coming consistently second. Usually that is the most informative part of a benchmark.
