A valid point, however, is, how much performance you actually need,

I'm not a native English speaker so maybe I didn't make myself clear.
Let's try again.
The cost of spawning a Lua process is low, so you can afford to spawn
many of them. That makes Lua CGIs a viable choice for a medium-sized
Web application. It's the same thing for Perl, by the way.
Spawning Python or Ruby is more expensive (*), so for some workloads
you will have to choose a more complex model (event-based, workers...).
You could do the same thing in Lua but you don't have to.
