Hmmm... interesting. Are you using Lua 5? On what platform? I've just benchmarked the same code on my Lua 4 system under Windows. The second loop performs definitely better than half the speed here. It needs approx. 1.6x the time needed for the 1st loop. Ashwin.Lua 5 compiled on VC7.1 release build. AMD Athlon XP 1.47, Windows XP.
Okay. Well, not that it matters that much, but for completeness' sake: I'm using a Lua 4-based runtime, compiled with C++ Builder 4, and am running Windows 98 on an ancient 400Mhz Celeron laptop [;-)]. Ashwin. -- no signature is a signature
