I haven't made some test yest with heavier events, like the mouseMove event I discribed in my previous post. But the current features are really not costly in FPS. As a good comparison, I get a FPS drop of about 50% when using the standard Solar System Browser or the standard Render Options Setting window. And I get no FPS drop at all when opening the corresponding windows in the Lua GUI !
Then, displaying an overlay image of course produces a light FPS drop, but so does the Celestia rendering engine.

By this do you mean "provide Lua bindings that can be hooked up to common gui toolkits"? Sounds good - so will this require deciding at some point which gui toolkits to support, and which to make the default?
Implementing Qt4 (as an example) via Lua sounds interesting, indeed.
