Because older versions of Lua had more strict scopes.

If you try to run this script in Lua 1.0 (Up to Lua 2.1) it will error:

"

$debug
local i = 123
repeat
    local I = 321
    print(i, I)
    i = i + 1
until i > 1000

"

Output:

"

nil
123
lua: unexpected type at conversion to number
        in statement begining at line 6 of file "benchmark.lua"

"

Since I test Lua VM and not trying to squeeze the performance I decided to preserve it as global for the entire benchmark. Am I wrong with this statement?

Of course not.

But local i, favors 5.4.

In my tests, makes 0.054s
