title: Is LuaJIT really faster than every other JIT-ed dynamic languages?
body: <p>According to the computer language benchmark game, the LuaJIT implementation <a href="http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/u32/which-programming-languages-are-fastest.php?gpp=on&amp;luajit=on&amp;sbcl=on&amp;mzscheme=on&amp;hipe=on&amp;v8=on&amp;vw=on&amp;lua=on&amp;calc=chart" rel="noreferrer">seems to beat every other JIT-ed dynamic language</a> (V8, Tracemonkey, PLT Scheme, Erlang HIPE) by <strong>an order of magnitude</strong>. </p>
  
  <p>I know that these benchmarks are not representative (as they say: "Which programming language implementations have the fastest benchmark programs?"), but this is still really impressive.</p>
  
  <p>In practice, is it really the case? Someone have tested that Lua implementation?</p>
