For the Grub2 internal script engine, yes, it is little. but need more work to 
be improved. About the size, i think, Lua can be a replacement if this lua.mod 
is available at runtime. at the same time, why not load gziped mod file from 
disk? this will reduce the size of lua module: 100,436 bytes -> 49,766.

But the benifit of using Lua, i think, is for graphic menu. the gfxmenu uses a 
strange script engine, it is hard to learn for a common user; but the Lua, it 
is easy. ;-) 


So, it is good to have lua support in Grub2.
