IIRC someone mentionned on this list that msvcrt.dll is a poor
alternative for a newer MSVC runtime because it has a very slow malloc
implementation. Did you perform some Lua benchmark with this new build
method ?



I think you're refering to this post:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.lua.general/47305/match=runtime+malloc
It says it is the other way around. MSVCRT has some internal pool for small allocations whereas newer runtimes just call HeapAlloc blindly.
