If you aren't opposed to using a custom version of Lua, I might try running each
bot in its own Lua VM, then modifying the VM itself to wait every XX
instructions.  I think you could do this by having a counter at the top of the
for(;;) in luaV_execute that would run the specified number of instructions,
notify the controller that it is done, then sleep until it was told to run again.

I don't know how this would work in practice, but that is how I would probably
try to tackle the problem.
