Hi Luigi,
there is a new project on supelec: Luajittex.
more feedback from me:
a sample project with my publisher:
* normal luatex: 1m13sec * luajittex: 45 sec * luajittex --jiton. 42 sec hm, --jiton is better that default...strange but possible, if you are not using the NYI functions in http://wiki.luajit.org/NYI Of course if your publisher now uses ffi http://luajit.org/ext_ffi.html (a kind of C code) than performance is superior ---but is better to

To use it, I must be able to compile it on Linux/Mac/windows(mingw). I see that there's a mingw build file in the repository, so this looks like it's doable, right?
yes, the rules are 1) Linux : buildjit.sh 2) Mac OS X : buildjit-clang.sh 3) Windows buildjit-mingw32.sh cross compiled under Linux buildjit-clang.sh should work also with Linux, assuming clang on standard PATH; buildjit.sh should work under Mac OS X, assuming gcc on standard PATH. I've not tried to build the luajittex.exe under Windows with mingw; the executalbe from http://www.w32tex.org/ is up-to-date and is compiled with the ms compiler, which gives a slightly better results. The new luajit 2.0.1 was published yesterday: I will update luajittex soon but not now --- I wait a liitle for some fixes . -- luigi
