I'm impressed (as usual with your work) that you're able to get that level of performance from an interpreter, although as you note it's not an apples-to-apples comparison. I wonder what you'd get from the 2.x VM design with a templating JIT compiler.

But, as you said, my main point is your last sentence -- optimizing compilers like LuaJIT 2.x are impressive and necessary.
