His conclusion stands, he's got 1/2 of the claimed perf gains from the using the benchmarks the Edge Team advertised, but when tested against other Independent benchmarks Edge's performance falls dramatically short, making it reasonable to deduce Edge is optimized around the benchmarks the PR team is advertising.
It's unclear how these additional tests were selected. If the criterium was to find a benchmark where Chrome performs better, then you can't conclude much from this.
The IE team has said that they prioritize features based on how they are used on the most popular websites. I'd like to see a benchmark that was just the wall-clock time to load the Alexa Top 1,000.
"Well these tests don't meet my expectations so lets keep testing using other benchmarks until I'm validated".
