The bigger question's what they are on ARM than on x86 though. (Not an objection. :-) )

Depends on the CPU (some... don't even have native euclidean div hardware ;)).
But generally the same principles apply (i.e., it's a few clock cycles slower).
Which makes getting these out of the ARM technical manuals kind of a bitch, because it's optional on the A7 & A8 (IIRC, it's always supported on Kindle & Kobo, though).
But, if we look at a slightly more modern processor where it's stock: https://hardwarebug.org/2014/05/15/cortex-a7-instruction-cycle-timings/
(So, yeah, much slower ;)).

In compiled languages, it'd be the compiler's job to transform as many divisions as possibly in MULs or shifts, but I'm not quite sure what happens in Lua's case ;o).

LuaJIT tends to be pretty good about these things but you'd have to check. :-)

I have made a small benchmark
and
Run both with
time luajit bench.lua
.On a Sage the first one takes
5.4s
the second one12.4s
.On my Laptop the first on needs
0.5s
the second one2.1s

For context re: my link above, the Sage is running on a quad-A7 @ 1.8GHz, FWIW (although we mostly only keep a single core online).
Our other devices tend to run on a A8 or an A9 at 1GHz.

Cool, thanks.
