i wonder if it makes much of a difference in the way we use lua; most 
time is currently spent on function calls and tex-lua interfacing and if 
i'm right jit does not help much there

long ago i did some tests and jut is indeed impressive but for larger 
functions (and we have many of them) you need to tune parameters in 
order to gain something

once luatex is finished we can look into it again but keep in mind that 
jit is only available for someplatforms/architectures

(btw i do lots if speed tests when writing lua code for mkiv, so often 
the code is already rather optimized)
