(Already done... so I guess I should add that my numbers are WITH an 
endianness check... that makes core Lua even faster.)

And for completeness, I've added LuaJIT2 numbers:

lua.exe load asciidata.lua - 1.99 seconds
lua.exe load asciidata-luasrcdiet.lua - 1.98 seconds
lua.exe load binarydata.lua - 0.07 seconds

luajit2.exe load asciidata.lua - 1.26 seconds
luajit2.exe load asciidata-luasrcdiet.lua - 1.26 seconds
