These benchmarks compare code execution between the native roblox engine, LuauDispatcher + LuauParser, and vLuau (the current most popular luau code environment)
| Test | Native (s) | Luau Executor (s) | vLuau (s) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Arithmetic assignment loop (sum 1..1000) | 0.0000042049 | 0.0012328067 | 0.0009900933 |
| Complex math expressions (100 iterations) | 0.0000216428 | 0.0007105800 | 0.0014142333 |
| Recursive Fibonacci (15) | 0.0000358881 | 0.0067096533 | 0.0043807200 |

| Array fill + next/pairs sum iteration (n=300) | 0.0000115900 | 0.0009765667 | 0.0012851800 |

Compared to vLuau, LuauParser + LuauDispatcher is almost always faster, however it slows down extremely on large reccursive functions and long for loops. In general, vLuau is more consistant.
Choosing the right one for your usecase is a personal choice. If you want something tried-and-true that is consistant and easy, go with vLuau. If you want a much smaller module that has performance improvements but may be inconsistant, use LuauDispatcher + LuauParser.
Download the package from Releases and import it into Roblox. You can also download everything individually from trueSrc however it's much harder because this is my first time uploading a package that I intend the general public to use. Most of the time I use my own system.
