HelperThreads has much lower performance impact precisely because of the constraint that a background task MUST NOT touch or access the Lua state in any way. i have some (currently vague) plans to do a Rings-like library with HTT, resulting in something very similar to LuaTasks, but that doesn't let you share lua variables between states. i'd love to see a solution for this... but until there's a per-object locking in the Lua core, LuaThreads will be the only way. -- Javier
