Duktape seems to be based on the same principle of sqlite3. Distributed as one big c file. Really cool.

Another note: Try to do fib(33) in duk, it takes 9s, while lua interpreted mode takes under 2s. So no doubt it's still got a long way to go in terms of performance.

Very little performance work has been done so far. Most of the effort has been in E5 compliance and more recently to support low memory environments (96-128 kB system RAM) better. But there's going to be performance work early next year.
