For what it is worth, I have a partly written LSL engine that converts
LSL to Lua, then compiles and runs the Lua using LuaJIT.  LuaJIT is
generally recognised as the fastest in it's class.  I had taken
advantage of Lua and added XMREngine like extensions.  I've only done a
little bit of casual benchmarking, leaving proper benchmarking until
it's more complete, but it was putting on an impressive performance.

The plan is to allow pure Lua coding as well, since it is a popular
scripting language for 3D games.
