LuaPlus' LUA_REFCOUNT implementation for Lua 5.1 exists at [1]. I removed it years ago in the next commit, but it is there for reference.

It shipped in a number of commercial products using the reference counting implementation [2].

There are discussions within the Lua mailing list archives about its performance and memory improvements, but you would have to search them out using 'luarc'.

I need help to get a better understanding on where to apply reference counting (where to increase reference count and where to decrease reference count).

You may find some hints and inspiration from https://github.com/zenkj/luarc-5.1

Disclaimer: I have never used LuaRC-5.1
