1) That isn't what the tests claim to do:
"the speed of object instantiation in OO languages."
"the speed of method calls in OO languages."

2) My assumption is that crafting a somewhat-like emulation of a single
aspect of OO has fewer design constraints than implementing everything
needed to create a coherent OO language. 
(In other words it's not even a reasonable test of how a home-grown OO
framework would perform - because it doesn't require the full
framework.)

Both tests are supposedly *same way*
Including a C program that creates structs (not objects) makes nonsense
of that.
