That note is specifically referring to JIT compiling into a natively  
executable image.
Lua byte code is not executable; it is interpreted by the Lua VM.

I read that note and didn't see anything that might indicate that SP2  
would affect byte-compiled
scripting languages (phew!). On the other hand, there have been lots of  
reports of SP2 slowing down networking, by a factor of more than two.  
So there are lots of possibilities.

This came up on google groups: maybe one of the settings suggested here  
will help? If you disabled services one at a time, you might find one  
that made the big difference:
