It's an interesting, but trivial test. The Rails numbers are incorrect and irrelevant now though because it's using an outdated Ruby version, 1.9.3 is now the gold standard, and outdated Rails version.

It would be more interesting, but a simple test like this doesn't demonstrate much. A benchmark testsuite with a few algorithms or data processing patterns common to a domain would be more helpful.
