In the last 12 hours a drastic increase of computing times of Lua string functions occured which produces error messages like "The time allocated for running scripts has expired." ("Die zum Ausführen von Skripten vorgesehene Zeit ist abgelaufen.") This is mainly related to Lua string functions find, gsub, sub, and len.

This problem newer occurred before. In the example mentioned gsub calls took no longer than 100 ms at all.
