i wonder if it makes much of a difference in the way we use lua; most time is currently spent on function calls and tex-lua interfacing and if i'm right jit does not help much there long ago i did some tests and jut is indeed impressive but for larger functions (and we have many of them) you need to tune parameters in order to gain something once luatex is finished we can look into it again but keep in mind that jit is only available for someplatforms/architectures (btw i do lots if speed tests when writing lua code for mkiv, so often the code is already rather optimized) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
