The new Lua 4.1 builds include a separate array and hash for each table.
Maybe some magic could be done there?

The fastest way, if you are doing this a lot, is to keep the vector part
in a separate table:

t = {vec = {1, 2, 3, 4...}, a = "new", b="old}

Then you can clean the things out with:

t.vec = nil
