LuaJIT and SSE2

[Petri Häkkinen <petrih3@...>]

Hi there,

This is mostly to Mike Pall but others might be interested as well. I'm playing around with LuaJIT, doing 3d graphics prototyping and so far I've been very impressed with it. Especially the robustness and reliability of LuaJIT is very impressing. However, LuaJIT seems to be running like a dog on my older AMD setup which I use primarily for development at home. The CPU does not support SSE2 instructions so I figured this is most likely the culprit.

So my question is, what are the chances of getting jit to work on non-SSE2 capable CPUs? If my chances are slim, I guess I need to visit the nearest PC hardware store...

Best Regards,
