PHP Benchmarks

I found these benchmarks using different versions of PHP.

Benchmarks for different PHP versions. req = database requests

PHP 5.6 benchmark: 91.64 req/sec
PHP 7.0 benchmark results: 206.71 req/sec
PHP 7.1 benchmark results: 210.98 req/sec
PHP 7.2 benchmark results: 229.18 req/sec
PHP 7.3 benchmark results: 253.20 req/sec

What does this mean? PHP 7.3 is about 180% faster than PHP 5.6 in handling database requests. PHP 7.2 is about 150% faster.
