I believe it has to do with how the language is constructed. Lua is built to be very lightweight.

Last time I checked, spidermonkey had some problems with delays on some very specific cases due to its inner workings, but I can't tell for sure.

Will you share your ccxml/vxml integration? I believe that these 2 components are something that lots of ppl could use.

Hi,

 

I know from a previous postings/discussions that the Javascript we use is considered to be bad – performance and memory wise. Can someone explain a little – who did the Javascript integration?

 

The reason I ask is because I am working on ccxml and vxml – and I need to add ECMAScript due to compatibility with external tools/libraries

.

The impression I get from wiki is that Lua perform 2 x the speed of JavaScript – does anyone know exactly why?
