Hi dev@ people, I'm thinking of changing the default value of LuaScope in trunk to 'thread', as the current default, 'once', has a significant performance impact (as I explained at ApacheCon). As Lua's garbage collector is quite awesome (it's virtually impossible to leak memory unless you deliberately do so), I don't see a reason why we should stick with 'once' on threaded platforms, especially considering the overhead of reloading libraries into the VMs if they are created and thrown away after each request. I would also like for this to get backported to 2.4 at some point, which is why I'm throwing you this email as a heads up.
Thoughts? ideas? heckling? With regards, Daniel.
