Re: lua page in cgilua is slow ?

["Thomas Harning Jr." <harningt@...>]

A lua page will be just about the same speed as a simple cgilua.put as
long as the results of the parsing is cached.

I don't know how you have cgilua setup on the server, but if it is
restarted on every request... then no caching can occur.

It could also be something to do w/ Lua rings (if that's being used)
since every request would be in its own environment... thus no
caching.
