Neither can I, with a Core i7 under Windows 8.1 (lua 5.3.0, monolithic 
executable, not sure if I got it from Lua Binaries or compiled it).

Either with a Lua executable in the same directory as 'temp', or with a 
long pathname, with or without arguments, I consistently get the same 
results (0.301..0.309).
