Hi,
Yes you are right. But to work around the time it takes to JIT I am
calling the function twice and measuring the second call. So the time
it takes to compile is not considered, as the function gets compiled
on first call.

The problem I have is that I cannot build a debug version and link to
release version of LLVM - I get link errors. So I will to have two
parallel builds - one release and the other debug - both for Ravi and
LLVm and then link them respectively. Too much hassle ... will do it
when I get a bit more advanced on the JIT compilation.

Thanks for the feedback.
