Also could compile perfmon2 instrumentation into the lua executable used and start poking all around.
...If you're on a platform that supports this.

How about trying AMD CodeAnalyst (free!) or Intel VTune (there's free
trial version) ? These tools support Windows and several distributions
of Linux.
http://developer.amd.com/cpu/CodeAnalyst/Pages/default.aspx
http://www.intel.com/cd/software/products/asmo-na/eng/239144.htm
It will tell you which module and which C function is consuming CPU time,
without big overhead. So you can find out which to blame, Lua or other
part of code.
AMD Codeanalyst can run basic profiling on both AMD and Intel CPUs.
And it can do detailed profiling on AMD CPUs, As I used Windows version.
VTune seems to have better call stack analysis. But it supports Intel
CPU only.
