Thanks for explaining this. > > Whether the distinction matters to you depends on what you want > to do. I'm working on a script wrapper for TL that runs under texlua. As an optimization I want to call (tex)lua scripts directly with dofile to avoid spawning new processes, but I want to make sure that kpse.set_program_name from my wrapper doesn't impact the invoked script in any way. As I understand in this scenario it will be better to use kpse object and keep it local. Does this incur any performance penalty, i.e. does kpathsea reinitializes itself from scratch when my object goes out of scope and set_program_name is called again?
