That depends on what you mean by "real-world performance". The board on which this conversation takes place compares Java to Python, bash and C. Their "real-world" probably consists of a bunch of short-lived small programs on the command line, lots of i/o pipelines etc etc. I think the benchmark gives a meaningful measure of "fit-for-purpose" for that kind of workload.
