last mail as it's way off topic ...

loading 96 MB string and converting 2 bytes to an unsigned: 1.7 sec
idem plus a lookup                                        : 2.1 sec
idem but then also going back string with 2 byte unsigned : 5.0 sec

add a few sec for some calculations in between, so still doable in lua 
(half that time when using luajit)

(measured on my 8 year old laptop so on a modern machine maybe less than 
half the mentioned time which is okay compared to some pure c approach i 
guess)
