Well, if someone wants to adjust bench_vararg3.lua, then post it 
and I'd be happy to update the timings table. Or another kind of 
workload. I was just aiming to get some numbers for a ballpark 
'feel' of relative performance... Also I'm thinking if we want to 
test <10 elements, then we'd need a zero element control to 
compare with.
