Re: "Random" delays in execution

@Roberto:

He run his script on an embedded system,and u don't know how many memory he has and how fast his cpu is.So every thing is possible,2.5 sec is not a problem.

@Max:
u can make sure that if the registered __gc method is called many times every time u script pauses.
if the answer is yes,it is sure that the problem is caused by the gc of u userdata
And the cel table may be another problem too,maybe u can declare it in 2nd script,and pass it 2 the 1st script as param.
Also,I agree with Jerome,The coroutine itself takes some memory.
Lua will do GC cycle when she think there are too many garbage(eg.memory not enough),so u force a GC cycle every loop only make the 2.5 sec parse shared with every loop.

The script creating the array is already not the same as the one run repeatedly.

Max: can you send us the C code loadin both scripts and running them ?
