We can assume the same of all the benchmarks. For example, AFAIK FF 4 with Jaegermonkey + Tracemonkey is already the fastest browser running Mozilla's own Kraken benchmark.

(Note that AFAIK FF 4.0b6 does not yet include Jaegermonkey, it has Tracemonkey only).
Even though Mozilla claim to have designed Kraken to measure performance against real-world tasks, people will simply assume that the Kraken benchmark is designed to favour Firefox in the same way that v8bench is designed to favour Chrome.
Hence the aim of Firefox should be to beat the others at their own benchmarks. This in turn is no doubt why the arewefastyet.com site includes results for sunspider and v8bench, but not Kraken.
That way there should be no arguments about the measurements.
