Hi all,
in my application, many many little problems are tackled by multiple
threads. Currently, I have a lua_State per problem domain and thread.
This is in the order of thousands of lua_States which work in like 16
threads on those many little problems.
I could do with only one lua_State per thread.
That would make my program less complex which is better.
Before I change my program towards fewer lua_States, I'd like to hear
your opinion on this. Will the reduction of thousands of lua_States,
each working with one script on a small problem, down to one lua_State
per thread, each working with several scripts on many small problems,
will this be beneficial or harmful?
Does Lua suffer from scalability problems which I didn't run into yet
because I chopped the work into so many small pieces?
Thank you very much for any insights you can share on this.
Dirk
