When I read that I thought "what, clock is implemented and  
undocumented in Lua?", but no, there it is in the PiL and the LRM  
right in front of me, where it has been for several years.

Anyway, I wrote a test harness for the kdtree.  It's at http://www.incremental.co.nz/projects/lua.html 
.  Instructions for getting data are in the comments in kdtree-test.lua.

Like the heap, I managed to screw some of test results up (just in  
case there's any doubt, I've been waiting for LJ2 with as much  
anticipation as the rest of the list and am convinced it will make the  
world a better place.  My test cases are just a little problematic.   
Hopefully that's not too much bad coding on my part, and of some help  
for improving LJ2).

Reading and querying are much better.  Querying is particularly nice:  
a tree query returns a coroutine iterator, so tracking a mouse moving  
across a map and highlighting the road it's over allocates an awful  
lot of coroutines, so lighter coroutines are a real bonus!

     Read     Build     Query
lua  6.33616  115.959   4.29028
LJ1  5.34206   74.3395  1.25906
LJ2  4.18      77.04    1.01
