Even with that I think flatbuffer, is still the main competition for something like this, not including it might make this look more impressive, but including it and mentioning that bebop has some advantages over flatbuffers (although with less language support) would be more fair.

They are impossible to benchmark against each other without making an assumption about how often you want to access the data, and which parts of it you want to access. but this means Bebop and FlatBuffers can exist side-by-side / solve different problems: what FlatBuffers does makes sense if you want to access only parts of your objects in limited specific ways, what we do is better if you're always interested in the whole packet.
