I disagree, as this simple test suite is not meant to be a definitive guide on which hash function is the best.
I would venture to say that your criticism is similar to saying that the Hutter Prize[1] is a terrible idea for someone who will need to do compression on a dataset as they will choose to use PAQ and it will run really slowly. Yes, there are trade-offs and optimizations for different use cases, but to say that it's a terrible comparison is unfair.
