Re: Lua (small optimizations)

[Spar <developspartv@...>]

Question, what's the point of posting executables? Isn't this better if you tell what patches you made? Moreover, maybe they do something malicious.

As I remember you started the thread about optimizations patches and they were rejected.

I don't want to argue whether you should optimize this or not, but for me, it seems like you can't accept opinions from the previous thread.

I made a little optimization through the Lua code.
But I learned that testing Lua is not easy.
With Linux Ubuntu, I was able to reduce the testing time from 10.42s to 9.95s.
With Windows, for now, without tests.

I also tested factorial.lua on Windows 64 bits (msvc 2019 64 bits):

Best Lua result (5.4.2 last git):

It's not very impressive ...
