Do you have any data to back up this widely believed fact?
Try this test [1], or your own, better, test.
As far as I can tell, if you're using PUC Lua, then yes, a numeric for is faster than ipairs, but a while loop is even better. If you care about performance, you're probably using LuaJIT, and the loop structure doesn't make any difference.
Cheers,
