Anyway, I decided to stop trying to improve the solutions, and work on
improving the compiler and its libraries instead. It might benefit to
ocaml ranking in the shootout, but more importantely, it will benefit to
everybody

However, when I actually went to the Language Shootout page suggested
in the article, I found out that OCaml is not 2nd, it is 13th, behind
languages like Haskell and C#...

Sounds good. Then Ocaml could still win if it performs well on the
other benchmarks.
The main benchmarks game summary is median and quartiles so one measurement
doesn't have much influence.
There are several tasks which have worse

I do not say that it is complete nonsense to do this comparison, but
only that it is more specific than a reader would assume.
A reader's wrong assumptions are their own responsibility:

So do that comparison and publish the results.

I think the shootout is not a good data source. There are definitely
some very poor Ocaml results there, so I'd guess the shootout got
recently more attention by enthusiasts of other languages, and the
current Ocaml programs there are
