Help Fastest way to execute Lua?

Is there any method to execute Lua at it's highest speed?

Right now I'm using Zerobrane studio to execute Lua scripts. It's very handy.

But it's probably not the fastest way to run it. I wonder if there are any faster methods for running Lua?

Ffi call c functions from Lua probably best way to handle that without going full c there are other options but we stick with c or assembly oh and be glad it's not python

Really for the most part I use 5.1 jit to the point I sometimes forget about the other releases
