It seems to just be re-exposing existing lua runtimes, which makes the naming very unfortunate IMO. The underlying runtime Luau, for example, details its performance here https://luau.org/performance . Luajit is already popular and has plenty of benchmarks online.

I assume the relevant performance benchmarking would be of the http server APIs it exposes to lua, not lua itself.
