I'm also a little dubious about thanking fbopensource, which makes it sound like we handed them our stack and projects.
Can we say something more like :
Wikipedia runs faster thanks to @hiphopvm. @fbopensource finds Barack Obama's article loads 19% quicker: http://hhvm.com/blog/9293/lockdown-results-and-hhvm-performance

This sounds a bit like we're speeding up Barack Obama himself. I make no comment on Mr. Obama's pace... but perhaps we should use "Obama's article" instead of the square brackets?
FB/G+ can be pretty much the same with (obviously) differently-formatted tags.

But I agree that a more salient tweet would be nice. How about:
Thanks, @fbOpenSource, for speeding up [[Barack Obama]] by 19.4% via @HipHopVM! http://hhvm.com/blog/9293/lockdown-results-and-hhvm-performance
and something similar on FB/G+.

Facebook's HHVM team just completed their first performance lockdown,
which
they spent focusing on the performance of open-source PHP frameworks
under
HHVM. The achievement which they chose to highlight in their blog posts
is a
gain of 19% in their MediaWiki performance benchmark, which is – you
guessed
it – a parse of the Barack Obama article.
