``Awesome'' is an obnoxious word used by dumb American teenagers and wannabe nerds.
It's a shame because the proper usage of the word is useful, but now if someone says, ``God's power is awesome,'' then you automatically think of the new sense of the word and don't pretend you don't.
Update intervals also play a big role, and you can save a lot of power with a smart approach. Don't use intervals like: 5, 10, 30, 60... to avoid harmonics. If you take the 60-second mark as an example, all of your widgets would be executed at that point. Instead think about using only prime numbers, in that case you will have only a few widgets executed at any given time interval.
>>One common argument to choose Lua is that it has a small footprint. Yeah, that's true, but that's useless. Bummer! When I program, I don't have any resource usage pressure. People who have such pressure are either paranoids or playing in the world of embedded computers.

It's a commercial name only. Means that, like stem cells, every independent processor can configure itself to act as a different specialized kind of CPU.
Lua has enough features and ingenuity to be its own language. If the developers dont start realizing that, they're never getting anywhere. Lua 6 needs to be a real language, not an embedded script that nobody uses. ITS TIME TO GO BIG
