That’s in seconds, yes 
The data is coming from OCaml Benchmarks
I found the graph a little hard to grok at first. Perhaps it would be clearer for the graph to show kloc/second/core. Another nice thing you could do is include benchmarks for both native-code and byte-code compilation, to support the observation that the byte-code compiler is faster.
It’s tricky, but it would be neat to have some comparative data. If OCaml runs at something like 2-8k loc, how fast do other languages (C, C++, Java, Rust, Haskell) run at? Are there any experiments about this we can point at?

The book “OCaml from the very beginning” by John Withington has been released free of charge, thanks to support by the OCaml Software Foundation. It seems to me that it would merit being prominently displayed in the new site (maybe even in the landing page?) as a quality source of information for beginners.
Cheers,
Nicolas
