Since the timing code isn't here, I'm assuming you guys are doing the
testing around the whole app. While that might be interesting, it's
hiding an awfully large and important difference, application startup
time.
C has very little, D quite a bit more, and I don't know what Lua looks
like there. If the goal is to test this math code, you'll need to
separate the two.
At this point, I highly suspect you're really measuring the runtime costs.
One thing I didn't mention is that I also measured with 10x the counter
limit. That brings the run time to seconds, and the relative difference
persists. So application startup time is negligible in this case.
