in thread Perl 6 is going to get a lot faster in 2013

But it's clear that Perl 6 is going to get a lot faster in 2013.
... based on microbenchmarks of a language that isn't Perl 6?

No. You've picked up on what I consider a point of interest rather than the big picture.

The outlook for Perl 6 speed improvement in 2013 is based on many factors:

As for "a language that isn't Perl 6" I'll point out that NQP is basically a small subset of Perl 6 (NQP stands for Not Quite Perl) and Rakudo compiles to NQP. So if NQP gets faster, Rakudo Perl 6 gets faster.
