It really depends how optimized your machine is. If you have no programs in the background, no extra tabs, no auto updates, no power saving, then these numbers are poor.

One thing to keep in mind is that a lot of modern CPUs have very variable turbo policies. Mobiles or low speed chips can easily have turbo frequencies over twice the nominal clock speed, and all of that is affected by thermal policy as well.
He's using Windows 7, you're using 10, so it could be there's a difference in how FF runs, or the CPU performance is managed.

Based on the excellent feedback which I greatly appreciate, I put together an improved version: http://nach.nachsoftware.org/nscrypt-improved/
This improved version does the same operations with less resources, combines the constrained and non-constrained into a single version, and also fixes some bugs highlighted by your reports. If you've had some odd cases above, please try this new version and report how things have or haven't changed.
Thank you!

<dwangoAC> This is a TAS (...). Not suitable for all audiences. May cause undesirable side-effects. May contain emulator abuse. Emulator may be abusive. This product contains glitches known to the state of California to cause egg defects.
<Masterjun> I'm just a guy arranging bits in a sequence which could potentially amuse other people looking at these bits
<adelikat> In Oregon Trail, I sacrificed my own family to save time. In Star trek, I killed helpless comrades in escape pods to save time. Here, I kill my allies to save time. I think I need help.

For everyone else that are planning to redo tests on stuff that worked 100%:
<Nach> Spikestuff: you can skip testing everything that worked well before, that should continue to work well, I'm more interested in the cases that have not worked well
The stock web browser in my Samsung Galaxy Express 2 (which I have absolutely no idea which browser it is, because neither the phone, nor the internet, shows this information anywhere; the phone itself just names it "Internet", which isn't very helpful) doesn't work with this at all. It just says "Status: Processing" forever, but no result lines appear.
The (New) 3DS web browser still says "Status: Failed, your browser does not support workers."
The PS4 browser says:

Wow, that's one fast laptop. Is it any good?

I was curious to see if the new Firefox Quantum would run these tests faster, but for some reason it doesn't. Strange.
I suppose it's only faster for client-side dynamic content that actually modifies the webpage, rather than raw calculation.
Constrained froze at Processing.
