Re: Lua 5.1 (work6) now available

Work 6 performs *much* worse than work 5 (and 5.0.2 even!) on the test script below (About 70% (!) slower for sumi and about 30% for sumr.) What's going on?
local function sumi(n, r)
 while r > 0 do
 n = n + r
 r = r - 1
 end
 return n
end
local function sumr(n, r)
 if r > 0 then
 return sumr(n + r, r - 1)
 end
 return n
end
local now = os.clock()
for i = 1, 1000 do sumi(0, 10000) end
now = os.clock() - now
print(string.format("iterative version took %.3f seconds", now))
now = os.clock()
for i = 1, 1000 do sumr(0, 10000) end
now = os.clock() - now
print(string.format("recursive version took %.3f seconds", now))
