To me is seems wrong too, but is nevertheless the case. Look carefully 
at the scoring rules at 
http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/gp4/benchmark.php?test=all&lang=all#about

See http://alioth.debian.org/forum/forum.php?thread_id=2671&forum_id=999 
  for the discussion. Maybe as an indirect result result, two of the 
worst scoring benchmarks (both threading related) were removed from the 
default scoring set, the one you get when you choose "reset".
