now it's running fast and smooth.
didn't knew I can access the array via loop this way.
very nice to see such a responsive community.
thx again mike

Well, you don't. You can use it like a table, so why convert it?
You can pass it around like any other Lua object, too.
If you really, really need to have a plain Lua table, then write a
loop to copy the values to a new table.

The LuaJIT FFI is a low-level library and is probably not so easy
to deal with, if you have little experience with Lua.

I suggest to start with plain Lua first: http://www.lua.org/pil/
