What specific aspects are you having performance troubles with?  Lua is
already among the fastest available scripting languages, but there are
several tips and tricks you can employ to improve the performance of
your code without changing Lua itself.  One common error, for example,
is to assume the performance of globals is good compared to that of
locals.
