  It's only a concern if the performance is too slow.  At work, I'm using
Lua 5.1 to process SIP messages (our customer is one of The Monopolistic
Phone Companies [1]), with each transation being handled as a coroutine and
performance has yet to be an issue (millions of calls per day).

  Lua (5.1, 5.2, 5.3) compiles and works just fine on x86-64 (and on 64-bit
SPARC; we use those too).  Really, it comes down to other libraries you
might need compiled.  I wouldn't worry too much about Lua.
