Thread:Extension talk:Foxway/Performance (in comparison to Scribuntu/LUA)/reply (4)

I tried to compare performance Scribunto/LUA vs Foxway. It's like comparing warm vs soft :-)

Lua takes a step faster than Foxway, but Foxway can make big steps. Maybe I'm wrong, but that's what I think about it.

Foxway allows the use of a large number of functions PHP, especially for arrays that run very fast. Next I want to add objects, such as HTMLTable. This will avoid bottlenecks, such as the use of cycles in Foxway. This will allow foxway make giant steps and if lua will not give the same opportunity, will never catch up Foxway.

In general, it all depends on the implementation. This makes it impossible to make a fair test.
