Perhaps just compiling and caching the bytecodes will bring a
challenging performace compared to PHP. It would also be interesting to
compare Lua (cached) and PHP with zend/other compilers.
I think Lua is sort of an underrated language. I would take Lua over
Python (or PHP) any time of the day. But most people don't know Lua, or
didn't yet behold its inherent coolness :o)
Hopefully, projects like mod_lua can bring a larger user base, helping
the language and its add-ons to evolve. That's why I think the
benchmarks are yet another way of telling people "See? You can use Lua.
Lua is a Good Thing (tm)"

Nice job! :o)
