Loading a chunk allocates memory. If you wanto to run a chunk several
times, load it once and run it several times: the result of lua_load and
luaL_load* is a function on the stack that represents the main part of
the chunk; it can be called several times without having to reload the
chunk (but you have to save the function somewhere; it is removed from
the stack when it is called.)

Garbage collection does this for you automatically.
