I think it was more the extra layers of indirection added to function environment\effectively global variable access added in 5.2 .

The removal of scanning for changed userdata finalizer meta method in 5.2 is just a commonsense fix for bad design that made GC atomic phase run time, thats not incremental scale up with the number of GC userdata objects alive no matter if they have a finalizer or not.

There is work being done on Git to add pluggable object backends[1] by some GitLab devs that could changes things up a bit and make large object handling not suck Maybe Lore could act like a promisor remote to pull large objects from as well for interop.

Part of Windows Explorer actually does tons of tiny 4 byte ReadFile calls in to its tracking database like file when you delete a file. If you deleting lots of files this quickly adds up.

I think they just swapped out LuaJIT's modified built-it dlmalloc[1] with some standard allocator. Then just set some turning values of the allocator to make to more eager to return pages with no allocations left to the OS. LuaJIT has always had pluggable allocator system you can set at state construction time[2], it did have a restriction you could only use the built-it allocator for 64 bit builds if you don't use the GC64 build option, but thats been default enabled for a while now.

There was commercial fork of clang zapcc[1] that did caching of headers and template instantiations with an in memory client server system[2], but idk if they solved all the correctness issues or not before abandoning it.

Maybe they will use this chance to finally switch it away from the .NET Framework to the modern dotnet runtime with its many years optimizations.
