Re: 32-bit embedded

["steve donovan" <steve.j.donovan@...>]

I'm contemplating a similar step, for embedded Gumstix.  Obviously
32bit integer-based Lua is going to be faster, but roughly how much
faster?  I would like to do _some_ floating point arithmetic...

I guess one could add fp arithmetic as an extension (patterned on
available extensions that add complex to regular double Lua, for
instance.)
