Lua 5 compiled on VC7.1 release build. AMD Athlon XP 1.47, Windows XP.

Just to verify that it wasn't my framework giving anomilous readings I 
reran it in the interpreter and got similar results.

With the loop bumped up to 100,000,000 it took 10 seconds for local 
variables and 21 for table accesses.
