NPL Runtime Performance Compare

NPL syntax is 100% compatible with Lua, therefore it can be configured to utilize JIT compiler (Luajit). In general, luajit is believed to be one of the fastest JIT compiler in the world. It's speed is close to C/C++, and can even out-perform static typed languages like java/C#. It is the fastest dynamic language in the world. However, special care needs to be taken when writing test cases, since badly written test case can make the same code 100 times slower.
