was that a table of userdata's? or light userdata? or mabye a full userdata that holds only a pointer? in the second or third case, Lua has no way to know how much RAM your object really holds, maybe from it's side a couple thousands of pointers is just a few KB's but from C it's several MB's. in that case, you should have a 'close' method to release your object and not rely on __gc(), because it might not occur soon enough.
Maybe I wasn't clear enough: the 100+ MBytes used memory is reported *by Lua*, and won't be freed by garbage collector.
