It would be interesting to see 1-1 comparison with LuaJIT interpreter _without corresponding runtime changes_. That would given a meaningful baseline for how much you potentially loose/gain using this approach.
Current measurement presents comparison of two wildly different implementation strategies: LuaJIT Remake uses IC and hidden classes while LuaJIT proper does not. It's a well known fact that ICs+hidden classes can lead to major performance improvements. That insight originated in Smalltalk world and was brought to dynamic language mainstream by V8† - but unfortunately it muddles the comparison here.
† V8 was open sourced on September 2, 2008... Coincidentally (though probably not :)) JSC landed their first IC prototype on September 1, 2008.
