Re: [ANN] Lua 5.3.0 (work1) now available

[David Burgess <dburgess@...>]

I compared Roberto's benchmarks and Mike Paul's scimark for 32/64
versus 64/64 on a CuBox (32bit SoC, 16bit fpu)  The results were not
what I expected.
The mandelbrot is marginally quicker on 64/64. The other tests did not
show any major performance differential.

Attached is the comparison output of 32 int vs 64 int

I also ran the same tests on Lua 5.2
Both versions of 5.3 are faster than Lua 5.2, except for the
mandelbrot. The mandelbrot was 5 secs faster on Lua 5.2 (55 versus 60)
