I've been working on some bindings for lua to google's RE2 regex library and I got most of the important functions working. At the moment, I'm working on optimizing and reducing the overhead for the bindings.

Testing setup and tools used:

Mingw-gcc 4.6.3

LuaJIT 2.02

Python 2.7.3

RE2 compiled from head using mingw above

Windows 7 64-bit on Intel Q6600 quad-core.

Since you are using LuaJIT have you tried FFI to eliminate binding overhead all together?
