  Thanks! LuaJIT really rules in the shootout. The tests I've done were only inside of Firefox 4 Beta and I've got 3.4 sec for 5M n-body on my slightly (30%) faster computer. I remember that traditionally the standalone builds of Mozilla JS were not giving the same results as the one in the browser. A message for Mozilla devs, in case anybody reads: be aware that people do try to measure how fast JS is from the command line and let them get the really last results! And use http://shootout.alioth.debian.org http://shootout.alioth.debian.org if you want to fundamentally improve your implementation of JS.

    Note the main n-body measurement is N=50,000,000. The source code was downloaded from the tracemonkey branch https://wiki.mozilla.org/JavaScript:New_to_SpiderMonkey https://wiki.mozilla.org/JavaScript:New_to_SpiderMonkey. They can do better than use the benchmarks game - Kraken is one attempt they are making to do better. http://krakenbenchmark.mozilla.com/index.html http://krakenbenchmark.mozilla.com/index.html

      Regarding sources, I know this: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1754881 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1754881 The benefits of the benchmarks game: allows comparison with other languages (like Lua) whereas as far as I understand their Kraken is JS only and browser only. Thanks a lot for your good work!
