I appreciate the followup here. The brainfuck interpreter isn't meant to be a benchmark notably, it's a naive implementation for the sake of the example.
I 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
