This questions is probably better on the luabind list at...

Still my choice was made by looking at UT2003.  It implements just 
about everything in Unreal Script... a surprisingly huge amount of 
the game code.  Since Unreal Script is byte code based i'm assuming 
( probably a big assumption ) similar performance to Java or Python 
which in many cases is slower than Lua.  And even if i'm off on my 
assumption performance critical stuff can still be moved to C/C++ 
objects as necessary.

  That brings up the need for some kinda lua performance profiler of 
sorts.  Any suggestions on that?
