Thanks for being so pedantic for us. We understand how valuable your time is, and it's quite flattering that you chose to spend it on catching and correcting microscopic ambiguities in our discussions that might have otherwise gone undiscovered.

Thanks for offering help to rlachenal.

As the webpage states "a white bar shows which language implementation had the better time, and a black bar shows which had the better memory use".

More flattery - in context "most" is not ambiguous, it's vague.

As you are saying how to read the graph, a specific example will be more helpful than a vague summary.
