Faster and Better? Benchmark Bugs and Design Limitations Distort the Evaluation of Vision-Language-Action Acceleration

Simulated manipulation benchmarks are the standard tool for evaluating vision-language-action (VLA) policies and the acceleration methods that reduce their inference latency for on-robot deployment. On these benchmarks, we observe that some training-free acceleration methods, which approximate the baseline policy's computation, achieve higher measured success rates than the baseline itself.
