I assume taking longer on the benchmark means slower.<<

I think you misread the data. Each bar shows the speed of a system relative to the first PowerPC Mac - the 6100/60 - in percent. The 6100 is 100% for all tests. For the processor speed, the UMAX is 1100%, or 11 times faster. That machine will smoke all Pentium II's for processor speed, but not at floating point.
