With this and https://github.com/Beariish/bolt/blob/main/doc/Bolt%20Perfor..., it is indeed confusing without testing it out myself.
That said, somehow I do not believe it is faster than LuaJIT. We will see.

Just checked with nbody:
- still 10 times slower than luajit
- 2 times slower than luajit -joff
- but 20% faster than lua 5.4
- but uses 47 Mb RAM vs 2.5 Mb for lua/luajitI did spot some poor code in the Bolt version of nbody that can be changed (the usage of `.each()` in the hot loop is creating loads of temporary iterators, that's the memory difference.)
luajit -joff does perform better even with this change, but I observe closer to 15% than a 2x difference
- 487.41 millis / 2364 kb ram for luajit -joff
- 770.17 millis / 41712 kb ram for bolt
770.17 / 487.41 ~~ 1.58 cpu, not 2x, but not 15% either
41712 / 2364 ~~ 17.64 ram
