i too tried it, and got a little over 5sec for LuaJIT, but then i
remembered that it was a manually compiled package.  luajit -v said it
was 1.something.... but a simple "sudo apt-get install luajit" brought
2.0.0-beta4:

time luajit-2.0.0-beta4 -e "for i=1,1e9 do end"

real    0m0.864s
user    0m0.840s
sys     0m0.010s

still not as good as mike's, but well into 21st century!
