title: Can LuaJIT be faster than C?
body: <p>Is there a scenario where the LuaJIT might be executing code even faster than C?</p>
  
  <p>After searching I found some people talking about the fact that it can at least rival the C-code, but I have never seen/found an example and I cannot inmagine how to create a setting where Lua is faster than C, since Lua seems to rely on C-libraries.</p>
  
  <p>Does anyone have (had) a scenario where this happens and/or can show me an example where Lua is faster than C-Code?</p>
