Mine was worse before I moved a ton of information into other Lua states
and wrote callback functions to access one state's information from
another.  In one case, a:

const BodyParts =
{
}

(const is an added keyword discussed in the past...)

In the front of a huge 3 megabyte table (in memory) would've saved
collection times of over 300 milliseconds...
