Also, can you change every usage of the word 'less' on the axis of the
graphs to 'smaller'.  As far as I can tell, every time it is an
incorrect and ungramatically usage of English.  Sometimes the legend
is 'seconds - less is better'.  But seconds are inherantly countable,
so it is incorrect English to say 'there are less seconds' -- rather
that there are *fewer* seconds.  Or you could change that legend to
read 'time in seconds' -- because time is considered uncountable, so
you have more or less time, not more or fewer time.  Smaller would also
work here.

Ratios, however, such as on http://speed.pypy.org/comparison/
cannot be 'more or less' or 'more or fewer'.  They have to be greater
(or larger)  or smaller.  Thus we need 'smaller' here.
