Modifying the flip loop in fannkuch from:

for flips=1,1000000 do
  ...
end

to

local flips = 1
while true do
  ...
  flips=flips+1
end

saves a few percent on fannkuch - I guess because we drop the check against a million?
I also made a modification to the last loop of the permute that's less clear cut.
Submitted.

Cheers,
