My machine is still a 32-bit Pentium; there, Lua with 64-bit integers
has a quite decent performance (not faster but not slower than Lua 5.2).

Yes. All combinations have been tested. But in small machines, it may
be worth trying 32-ints with 32-bit floats. (The main reason Lua has
used double was to be able to exactly represent 32-bit quantities.)
