I'd rather not compile to lua because then I need a lua compiler in

I don't have numbers, but I'd be willing to bet that ALL of LuaJIT is
less than 1/10 the weight of the minimal LLVM -- given that the LLVM
download is 12Mb and the zipped LuaJIT source (including core
libraries!) comes to 0.75Mb.
The LuaJIT Lua compile is so fast that you're not likely to see it show
up on profiling. It seems like "more work," but I'd wager it would be a
LOT more man-hours to achieve anywhere near the performance even
counting the "extra" compile step.
