I'm not familiar with Lua but if you are interested in a speed comparison, check out the demo/bench folder in the Euphoria download. It uses the Prime Sieve benchmark test to compare Euphoria to other languages, including Lua. I'm not sure when those benchmarks were done, but I would guess the trends are accurate. Euphoria looks to be significantly faster than Lua.
Also, Euphoria can do OOP through one of the many user contributions. Please check out http://rapideuphoria.com/cgi-bin/asearch.exu?dos=on&win=on&lnx=on&gen=on&keywords=oop to see some of the various implementations.
Thanks,
