Executing a script multiple times

["Juan Manuel Alvarez" <naicigam@...>]

Hi everyone! I am new to LUA and I have a little question.

I am trying to execute a script multiple times.
I first called luaL_loadbuffer one time and lua_pcall two times. The
second time calling lua_pcall I received an error message. I start
looking and I found something in the documentation about pcall: "Then
the program calls lua_pcall, which pops the chunk from the stack and
runs it in protected mode", so I finally discovered what my error was
=o)

Now I have some questions: How much does luaL_loadbuffer affect
performance? Is there any way to precompile a script from the C API
and call it multiple times? (since I only found a way to precompile it
from command-line).

Thanks in advance!
