low-latency responses were my principal reason for writing what became 
Xavante.  the point is that even with mod_lua, the CGILua cycle starts by 
creating a new environment for each request-response.  there are 
some 'preloading cache' but i think they're not too complete.

therefore, i'd suggest you try Xavante; but write your code as 'handlers', not 
as CGILua apps.  you'll get far better performance that way.

i've tried to make handlers easy to write; but since (almost) nobody else 
bothered to try them (CGILua is far more popular), i don't know if they're 
easy to understand.

try it. if you have any doubts, i'll be glad to help.
