Thanks, Mike.

Running on WinXP SP3, Lua 5.1.4 [1] with bit.dll packaged as a rock:

lua5.1 -lluarocks.require d:\Lua\LuaBitOp-1.0.0\bitbench.lua

loop baseline     72.3 ns
tobit            240.3 ns
bnot             248.0 ns
bor/band/bxor    345.8 ns
shifts           420.0 ns
rotates          318.3 ns
bswap            244.3 ns


However, the following does not act as expected:
lua5.1 -lluarocks.require d:\Lua\LuaBitOp-1.0.0\nsievebits.lua 9

Primes up to  5120000   356244
Primes up to  2560000   187134
Primes up to  1280000    98610


Surely it's because nsievebits.lua uses 'arg' and my build of Lua has 
LUA_COMPAT_VARARG disabled.
