Or, use luajit until you reach a situation where it hinders your 
performance expectations, -then- turn to C..
...and following the same logic, do the same with C, then assembly..

You'll probably find yourself realizing that C is a very poor choice of 
language for the majority
of real cases..  Ie, it falls into the "premature optimization" bucket 
quite often, at least for me.

Spend a little energy measuring first, then spend energy specifically 
where you need to,
or you might end up in another situation C seems to cause quite often, 
like a huge hole in a foot. :)
