Concerning 'only luajittex' .. it will always be two separate binaries
- luajit is only available for some architectures
- luajittex has some memory constraints due to the different Lua vm
In context you use
mtxrunjit ...
contextjit ...
if you want the most efficient call, although (at least for now)
mtxrun --jit
context --jit
will also work (but starts up slower due to a relaunch, using some ugly
hacks).
On the average luajittex runs faster (some 15-20% normally, but it can
be less or more depending on how extreme Lua usage is).
