I think you meant
   prefix = "/Users/Josh"

This doesn't affect the qualitative results of the benchmark but it
does change it to do what the OP was trying to do.

Note that "/Webwork/pgbookings"  is NOT a prefix of
"/Users/Josh/Webwork/pgbookings"

And cosmetically there's a typo:

>    results.report("[i..-i]:") { TESTS.times { data
> [prefix.length..-1] } }

should be:

   results.report("[i..-1:") { TESTS.times { data[prefix.length..-1] } }
