As far as benchmarking is concerned, neko feels on par with
Python, which is to say not very fast compared to VM based
language like Java or even Lua. Lua is certainly the fastest
interpreted language there is.
I studied a bit more the Lua internals and setup a comparison
document there :

I'll maybe post it for review on the Lua list once I'm back from
holidays.

This is really interesting. Do you know some good resources on VM
implementations (books or course material)? Maybe I should just read
the Neko VM source code...
