Re: Squeezing more performance from the Lua interpreter

[Eduardo Bart <edub4rt@...>]

I've tested -O3 -march=native and it makes no difference for my use case. I tend to avoid O3 unless on code that I know math operations could be vectorized, like in a matrix library, I don't think O3 can do much in the Lua interpreter. Also O3 can generate more code and bigger binaries, under certain circumstances this can be slower.

I suspect that -march=native might have bigger impact at -O3, where
automatic vectorization is allowed, so machine-specific boost from
-march becomes more noticable. Can't say this reliably.

Either way, -O3 alone may raise performance.
