The cross-language benchmark shootout results have been updated
for beta3 (thanks Isaac!):

32 bit: http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/u32/benchmark.php?test=all&lang=all&d=data&calc=calculate&gpp=on&java=on&luajit=on&v8=on&lua=on&tracemonkey=on&box=1

64 bit: http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/u64/benchmark.php?test=all&lang=all&d=data&calc=calculate&gpp=on&java=on&luajit=on&v8=on&lua=on&tracemonkey=on&box=1

I should mention that LuaJIT's performance for 32 and 64 bit on
the same machine is more or less identical (except for I/O, since
glibc is faster on x64). But the performance of the competition is
not the same, so the relative scores may be different.

For comparison purposes and the archives (lower numbers are better):

 x86    x64
------------------------------
 1.07   1.09  C++ GCC 4.4.1
 1.10   1.09  C   GCC 4.4.1
 1.88   1.85  Java 6 -server
 1.92   1.90  LuaJIT 2.0.0-beta3  <====
(2.33    -    LuaJIT 2.0.0-beta2)
  ...   ...
13.82  14.46  JavaScript V8
25.88  23.13  Lua 5.1.4

Ok, so Java received a grace period ... until the next beta. :-)
