RE: Lua5 benchmarks

["Joel Pritchett" <jpritchett@...>]

How was that test code generated? I love the fact that some of the vc++
tests failed because the author of the test tried using 'iota' instead
of 'itoa'. If they didn't take the time to even compile the test code
ahead of time, how do we know that the rest of the code that did work
was written in a rational way?

Still, it is a good indicator.

The "Great Win32 Computer Language Shootout"
(http://dada.perl.it/shootout/) has been updated to include Lua 5.0
(our thanks to Aldo Calpini). It still keeps Lua 4.0, so it is a nice
place to compare the performance of both versions. As expected, 5.0
outperforms 4.0 in almost all tests. In the final scorebord, Lua 5.0
scaled up five positions (compared to Lua 4.0).
