i would recommend either using threads (not so compatible) or a coroutine dispatcher and then hook/insert plugin loops/functions to that.( examples in the lua manual). a partial event updating trick (no coroutines or threads) can be seen in luacalc (sourceforge), a resize(sizer) event updates (triggers) a Scalable paint window. (*this resize could be replaced by network events or gui button presses etc) I hope this information is helpful.
