Thanks Rob, thanks Steve

Could I get a "ballpark" number on pollution? 10's, 100's, 1000's ?

When we speak of registers are we talking about the CPU's registers? Lua 
is quite abstracted from ASM, isn't it fairly hard to tell which 
variables actually end up in the registers even with C?

Is the 250 limit based on Intel X86 architecture? A large local table 
still won't fit into the registers, no? Won't we still have to access it 
from ram or disk?
