I remember that post too. And in the process of writing
LuaSocket 3.0, I revamped the auxiliar.c module. I should be
much faster now. The API is a little different, though, and
definitely not the same as luaL_checkudata. It would be nice
to have a benchmark of these alternatives. Anybody
interested in running these tests? I am of course willing to
help and provide my current implementation.
