More performance numbers... I could only stand to wait for n = 800000, so
that's as far as they go.  Note, Mem Usage == physical RAM and VM == virtual
memory.  So, in the Lua 5.0.2 case below, memory peaked at 124,500
megabytes.

Lua 5.0.2: at n =  800000   time =         1017.218  Mem Usage 63000 K /
61500 K VM
Lua 5.1w0: at n =  800000   time =         1030.421  Mem Usage 46456 K /
45260 K VM
luarc:     at n =  800000   time =         892.343   Mem Usage 5372 K / 5096
K VM
