Re: Lua5 / poor performance

I repeated this test on my Win98 Celeron 400 machine with three tables like
yours, containing 2000, 1500 and 1700 records each.  Executing this file
with a "dofile" from the Lua console takes well below a second (and I double
checked that the tables were processed correctly.)

I don't know what can cause such a huge difference though...  (possibly line
hooks?  Does the console use them under some conditions?)

Bye,
