That's just a truism about benchmarks. Once all the low hanging fruit is picked they stop showing interesting progress and just become a garden for crazy microoptimizations. The same thing happened with C compilers 10-15 years ago.

Basically, Javascript performance is "done". It's not going to get much faster at this point, and higher performance will come from paradigm shifts (SIMD, WebAssembly, pick your fad).
