We translated to Lua the scripts from the "Experiments with Scripting and 
User-Interface Languages", by Brian W. Kernighan & Christopher J. Van Wyk 
(see at http://cm.bell-labs.com/cm/cs/who/bwk/interps/pap.html). Here are
the timings for Lua (new version), Lua 3.2, and Perl (version 5.004_04 
built for i386-linux). (We will soon put the scprits in the site.)

...

Are these scripts somewhere on the site? I would be interested in! Maybe 
they are useful to show people some of the benefits of Lua at my 
company...
