My 2 cents. Given what was written in Lua's manual.html, I'd 
question whether your app should be using those debug functions so 
extensively in the first place, especially for the kind of app 
you're running. I thought those functions are used sparingly, say 
in a gdb-like setting, but they are not for running full-bore 
providing a program trace. Don't call or hook anything unless you 
absolutely need it.

I hope you're not putting effort optimizing the wrong things...
