Lua in benchmarks

[Luiz Henrique de Figueiredo <lhf@...>]

For some benchmarks results that include Lua, see

   The Great Computer Language Shootout
   http://www.bagley.org/~doug/shootout/

However, not all tests include Lua and some that do do not use "idiomatic" Lua
code (for instance, do not use "for", even if it's Lua 4.0 beta).

Perhaps the people in lua-l could contribute code to this project.

This project is similar to http://www.chat.net/~jeske/Projects/ScriptPerf/
but it's good to have several benchmarks around.
