LuaJIT

[NiLSPACE]

Of course I know that locals are faster. If I didn't know that my plugins would be awfully slow But what you're using here isn't OOP. You're just getting a static function, putting it in a variable and calling. That won't work well with actuall methods. For example, look at the code I used for my test:

Code: Show

local MyClass = {}

function MyClass:new()
	local Obj = {}
	setmetatable(Obj, self)
	self.__index = self
	
	Obj.TestVar = math.random(50)
	
	return Obj
end

function MyClass:Test()
	local R = self.TestVar + 50
end

local startTime = os.clock()
local Constr = MyClass:new()
for I = 1, 1000000000 do
	Constr:Test()
end
print(os.clock() - startTime);

It's a really simple example of a class in Lua. What I could do is get the "Test" function and make it a local. Then give the object as a parameter, but how are you planning on making the TestVar variable a local? It's also of course not pretty to use that.
