I think it sums it up nicely then...

TM is saying he doesn't like people claiming it's going to be great 
when there's no release yet.  Kris posted benchmarks showing things 
have improved and he has reason to believe it will be better.  TM 
replies not with his own benchmarks, but basically saying he refuses to 
test anything until it's released and that no one should claim it's 
better until it's marked as a "release" version.

So conclude by saying that there is reason to believe the next version 
will be better, "Here's why", and that you can have the drawn out fight 
over performance benchmarks up the wazoo after the release is 
actually...well...released.  TM won't be happy until it reaches this 
status anyway so there's no use in arguing it if only benchmarking 
"release" versions is one of the requirements for the argument to come 
to a conclusion.
