No, the garbage is posting a 'benchmark' that runs on only one machine.
Benchmarks are intended to be comparative.  At their best, they run
without modification on all machines to be compared.  At worst, the mods
are minor.  Extensive changes (such as removing implementation extensions)
invalidate any comparison. 

What you posted wasn't a benchmark, it was an example program for
Mac C.  Don't advertise falsely, and you won't get flames!
