> Are there issues with Lua 5.1 for real time work?

Its atomic section must traverse all stacks and all weak tables of the
program. If you have lots of them (and they are big) the atomic step may
take a while to complete.

Moreover, each atomic step does not stop during a traversal. So, if you
have one really big table in your program, its traversal may take a
while too.
