No, not a specific 60 local variable limit, but they do usually have limits. With several functions using 60 variables, you can easily pass the maximum stack size in C. (Yes, some would likely have to be arrays/strings)

Actually, Lua's implementation of the operations in the bit library are extremely efficient.

We hope to see the code, because that is where the problem is. You do not need 60 local variables in an OnUpdate function. If we can help you separate out the different operations into separate OnEvent functions, you will not have to worry about the 'inefficiency' of using tables to store options. (Lua tables are actually very efficient as well. You just have to be careful about leaving them around as garbage)
