Apples and Apples. 
You wrote 50%<0.1s and 83%<1s, so 50%>=0.1s and ~20%>1s

Shockingly the Shootout does not exist to provide data for your newly
created graphs.

Yes, really. 

If you have an idea - add a feature request.
If you've found a bug - add a bug report.

That way the folk who actually fix things don't need to waste their
time responding to each new idea as it comes to you - they fix the
things you don't even know about yet.

Use some imagination - how many hours do you think were taken away from
shootout work and spent on the mailing-list over the last 2 weeks.
